About

In May of 2009, I was ordained into the first degree of the ministry of the General Church of the New Jerusalem.  In June of 2009, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s disease, and for the next six months my focus was mostly on getting better.  I kept a blog about it at this url, which I’ve now moved to colemanlymphoma.wordpress.com.  But now I have finished my treatments, and the tests seem to indicate that they were successful.  And so, I am finally getting started on my career as a New Church minister.  Right now, I’m serving as assistant to the pastor at the Olivet New Church in Toronto, as well as visiting pastor for various places throughout Canada, particularly in the area of Dawson Creek, B.C.  This blog will include my thoughts and reflections, as well as occasional updates on my life in the Great White North (am I allowed to call it that?  Is that an American thing? I have so much to learn…).
