 Max

I was ordained twenty four years ago today at Grace Church, Muskogee, OK by the Rt Rev Robert Moody.  I only spent one year of my curacy there but Grace and Max sent me forward with the best start a person could ask for.

Before he was rector of Grace Church Muskogee Max was the school chaplain for Casady Episcopal Day School where I attended grades 8-12.  Every morning for five years I sat in chapel where our then Chaplain Max Berry started our day with a joke then a homily then a prayer.  As an arrogant teenager I remember thinking, “I could come up with a better homily than that.”   Sorry Max.  It wasn’t long after that I became a school chaplain leading chapel for a room full of children with little to no interest in chapel.   I feel you Max,  I feel you.
