Through a brief exposure to the Episcopal Charismatic Movement in its early years, Father Wesley learned to live and minister in the power of the Holy Spirit and has experienced openness from the congregations he has served to his sermons and teachings linking the Spirit with The Book of Common Prayer. Although “officially retired,” Father Wesley serves as part-time rector of a parish in Montevallo, Alabama, and feels privileged to be an adjunct instructor of religion at the University of Montevallo. His wife, Sandie, and he have four grown daughters and nine grandchildren ranging in age from seven to nineteen years old.vizualizați mai puține
