The Rev. Chris Palmer
I am an eastern Pennsylvania native, who was raised on pierogies and Eagles football. Thanks to the Holy Spirit’s nudging, I’ve ministered in places that I never would have dreamed: Scotland, Indianapolis, Texas, and now New York City. There’s nothing I’m more passionate about than thinking, praying, and wrestling through what discipleship means in the 21st century. My two favorite living theologians are Bruce Springsteen and Pope Francis, because they both have a knack for asking the right questions. My wife, Katherine, is currently getting a doctorate in theology from Baylor University, and I think she’s my greatest teacher. Soli Deo gloria!
