theophiliacs

We are four theological students steadily transitioning from various pentecostal backgrounds into this worldwide communion called Anglicanism. Two of us write from Minneapolis/St. Paul MN and two from Albuquerque NM. While our opinions may vary, our passions remain the same: community, communion, craft beer and a decent briarwood pipe.

Reed Carlson is an Old Testament M.A. student at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, MN. He hopes to be a college professor someday and have adventures on the side like Indiana Jones. Reed enjoys carefully crafted beverages, 80s movie trilogies and public radio. [email reed] or [hear him teach]. Tony Hunt (adhunt) is currently finishing his undergrad at the U of MN, a double major in Greek and Latin, and is married to his lovely wife Jen with whom he has 2 children, Amelie and Marguerite. Tony grew up an A/G minister’s son and is eventually hoping to teach at a Seminary or start a catholic anglican hippie commune. He enjoys music, good beer, Ecumenism and cooking as well as studying both Historical and Philosophical Theology. [email Tony] or [follow him on twitter]. James Stambaugh (jstambaugh) graduated from North Central University. He, his beautiful wife, and his dog live in Albuquerque, NM, and worship at St. John’s Episcopal Cathedral, except that the dog can only come to church on St. Francis Day.  James teaches Sunday School, and has also begun the discernment process for becoming a priest in the Episcopal Church; he hopes to be doing parish ministry and/or social justice work in the not too distant future. He enjoys languages, libations, librum, and liberation theology. [email James] Shawn Wamsley is the “old guy” of the group at 31 and has earned B.A., M.A., and M.Div. degrees. He lives near Albuquerque, NM with his wife and three children. He has recently started the discernment process for ordination in the Episcopal Church, and is shopping for PhD programs.  His interests include writing (trying to finish a novel), philosophy (amateur), video games, and theology.
