I am delighted to be the eighth Rector of this parish. I follow in the footsteps of some holy and creative men. My journey to St. James' began many years ago. I grew up in a small village in Upstate New York. Church was central to our lives. Often, South Pasadena reminds me of that village but without the weather! I moved to California in 1976 and have never regretted a day of it. Within the urban and suburban complexities of the greater Los Angeles area, South Pasadena is much like a small home town that reflects the values of people who care about one another. I began a career change from a background in health care to that of soul care twenty years ago. My degree, a Masters of Divinity, is from the Theological School at Claremont. Prior to St. James, I was an associate rector for a number of years at All Saints’ Church in Beverly Hills and prior to that, assisted at St. Matthias in Whittier. My husband David works for the Diocese of Los Angeles and our children, Christopher and Meghan are in graduate school. |

I was born and raised in Israel/Palestine to a Palestinian Christian family. As the son of an Episcopal priest, I had a strong Christian upbringing, which served as the foundation for a religious awakening that took place while I was attending Birmingham-Southern College in Birmingham, Alabama, where I also met my life partner, Tanory. After college, I served as Director of Music at a nondenominational church for two years. During this time, I began to sense God's call to the ordained ministry. Seeking to be faithful to this call, Tanory and I moved to California, where we attended Fuller Theological Seminary. After completing my Masters of Divinity at Fuller, and having begun my discernment process within the Episcopal Church, we moved to Alexandria, Virginia, for one year, where I completed a certificate in Anglican Studies at Virginia Theological Seminary. I was ordained shortly afterwards, and have been increasingly blessed since then to be a part of what God is doing at St. James'. Tanory and I have a son, Naeem, and a baby girl on the way; thus it goes without saying that the thing we enjoy most in life is spending time as a family - rediscovering this world through the eyes of a two year-old. |

I was raised in the West Michigan area and finished my undergraduate studies at Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids, MI with a Major in Communication Arts. My journey continued on to Pasadena, CA where I completed an M.A. in Cross-Cultural Studies at Fuller Theological Seminary and more importantly met my wife Sarah Lynn. For the next two years I ran a non-profit program for mentoring at risk kids in Pasadena while also serving part time as a worship pastor for a community church in Arcadia, CA. Soon after, my family and I were surprised and delighted by the leading of the Spirit into the Episcopal Church. After entering the ordination process we moved out to Alexandria, VA for two years where I completed a Master of Divinity at Virginia Theological Seminary. I was ordained a Deacon in June of 2009 and ordained into the priesthood in January of 2010. My wife and I enjoy music, endurance athletics and spending time with our beautiful son Caleb. I am absolutely thrilled to be a part of the exciting growth and movements of the Spirit here at St. James.
