Andrew Wright

II Newark

I have a deep love for the Church, for the laity and the clergy, and our mission of reconciliation that we seek to undertake in the world. The Church is part of God's saving work, that continues day by day in and through each of us. My skills include an ability to read and reflect carefully, connecting current concerns with our tradition of scripture and theology. I'm also trained academically with a doctorate in liturgical theology and have a great concern for formation at all levels of education, desiring to help shape clergy and lay leaders through teaching and conversation. I have had opportunities to work in a wide variety of positions, dioceses, and contexts, giving me a broad perspective of the church's ministry. I've served as rector, as associate and as interim; I’ve taught high school theology and seminary liturgics; I’ve served in youth, college, and school ministries. I now serve on a diocesan level as Canon to the Ordinary. This breadth informs my perspective on ministry.
