Fr. Brandon Letourneau was raised in a Jewish home, baptized in a charismatic church, and studied at a string of Roman Catholic and Orthodox seminaries — yet never once wavered from Anglicanism. In this conversation we talk about what traditional Anglican priestly ministry actually looks like today: the prayer book, the cure of souls, spiritual fatherhood, and his hope for the future of the ACNA.
Fr. Brandon is the rector of St. Mark's, Loomis (California), a writer and teacher, and a familiar voice in Anglican corners of the internet.
