The Rev'd Dr. Kevin Goodrich OP will be our guest preacher for Sunday, November 5, when we remember Holy Hermit Walter Hilton. Holy Hermit Walter Hilton of Thurgarton is a new addition to our calendar. He lived in 14th century England and exercised a ministry of spiritual direction that influenced many in his time and since.
Father (Brother) Kevin is a friar in the Anglican Order of Preachers, also known as the Dominicans, after their medieval founder, St. Dominic. He serves as Rector of St. John's, Dubuque, Iowa, teaches at the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary, and has preached and taught widely across the Western world, including this last July in Perth, Adelaide and Ballarat. He is the author or editor of numerous publications, including: The Greatest Desire: Daily Readings with Walter Hilton.
