The Rev. Gregory J. Fry Father Greg is 48, married to Lisa for 18 years, with 16 year old daughter Zoë. Father Greg, from Kentucky, met Lisa, from Maine, at Virginia Theological Seminary where Greg was studying for ordination and Lisa studying for her Masters degree in Theology. Lisa has family in Tempe. Father Fry, a cradle Episcopalian, loves the Episcopal Church, loves that it allows differing ideas about theology, ministry, worship, and actually encourages these ideas to exist in “creative tension”. His personal style tends toward the traditional, and on occasion he loves to pull out the stops and add liturgical drama with “smells and bells.” He has incorporated services from the Celtic tradition, used other liturgies from prayer books in the Anglican tradition, as well as an earthy jazz mass, the Missa Gaia. Greg has ministered in missions in Kentucky, Wyoming, and Florida, has worked with youth, young adults, and served as administrator and chaplain of a church pre-school. He has worked with retirees as well, and worked with criminal offenders in the largest non-profit in Cincinnati. He is trained as a substance abuse counselor. He has worked in the Navajo Nation and is familiar with Native spiritualities. For the past 5 years, Greg has led spirituality groups and assisted individual church members with spiritual direction. |
