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 favorite living theologian is Bruce Springsteen. My wife, Katherine, is currently getting a doctorate in theology from Baylor University, and I think she’s my greatest teacher. We live in Queens with our son, Alasdair, and our pup, Jed. Soli Deo gloria!
