I would have put this in the last post, but not everybody had been told in person yet. Now that they have, here 'tis...
Adam and I are moving to Philadelphia!
Christ Church on the Main Line in Wayne, PA (about 30 minutes northwest of Philadelphia) has called Adam to be their rector (pastor). Our official start date will be November 1. The position is bi-vocational, so Adam will continue his work at Gordon-Conwell via telecommute. His job is designing online courses, so his work is totally online anyway. Adam just got ordained to the priesthood on August 25, with the express purpose of having this church in Wayne be his first pastoral cure.
We're really going to miss our dearly loved friends here on the North Shore. Adam has lived here for seven years, so he has put down some pretty deep roots. While I've only been here full time since January, I still have made some pretty close friends. I'm sure we'll make new friends down there, but saying goodbye is sure never fun....
This weekend Adam and I are going to a clergy retreat down in Maryland, and on the way we're going to look at some apartments in PA. I think once we nail down housing this whole thing might start to feel more real. It certainly hasn't sunk in yet!
