presbyterial ordination
21 January, 2010. St. Paul's Church, Lansing Michigan.
My first moments as a priest, at St. Paul's Church, where I served as the assistant to the Rector before and after my presbyterial ordination. What a joy that day was! I was enormously grateful to all of those who came, or wanted to come, and who joined us in person and spirit in the celebration and the sacraments of that day. Here are my father and mother, Bob and Betty Sauerzopf, with Fr. Gordon Weller, Rector, St. Paul's Church, myself, His Grace the Right Reverend Bishop Wendell N. Gibbs, Jr., and his chaplain, and my mentor, sponsor, and friend, the Reverend Fr. Robert Kerr, Ph.D.
