Laudare, Benedicere, Praedicare
It is my great privilege to announce that three persons have petitioned the Rector of the Order, Sister Elena, asking to make their Novice Promises in the Anglican Order of Preachers. All three have been elected by the Province of the Transfiguration, and they will make their Promises this summer.
They are, in alphabetical order: Christopher Douglas-Huriwai of Christchurch, New Zealand; Erich Junger of Frankfurt, Germany; and Franklin Kline of St Louis, Missouri.
I have had the pleasure of guiding their postulancy, beginning in February of this year, and I am convinced that they are all called by God to join us, and that they will bring outstanding gifts to the Order.
Chris is a seminarian, preparing for the priesthood in the Anglican Church of Aotearoa, New Zealand, and Polynesia, studying in Auckland, NZ. His blog tells a lot about him.
Erich is an American priest (Diocese of Washington, DC), living and working in Germany. He is currently assisting at Christ the King Church in Frankfurt, which is a parish of the Convocation of Episcopal Churches in Europe (a diocese of The Episcopal Church, headquartered in Paris).
Frankling is a layman and is very active in Christ Church Cathedral in St Louis (Diocese of Missouri). The members of the Order had the pleasure of meeting and worshipping with him at last year's Chapter meeting.
God has richly blessed the Anglican Dominicans with people of strong faith, a passion for preaching, and a desire to seek and serve Christ in all persons. I am confident that Chris, Erich, and Franklin will all be excellent members of the Order.
May God bless them as they continue their spiritual journey, and may we all be blessed by their ministries.
