What is a priest? I have been asked this questions many times and this is how I answer (and what I hope for from each of the lay ministers, deacons, priest, and bishops of TPEC): A priest is someone who can walk into a coffee shop (or a bar) sit down, order a drink, read a paper, drink his drink, and leave - and the people in that establishment will be closer to healing, closer to maturity, closer to GOD for his presence.. A priest is a walking, talking, living conduit for the presence of GOD. In this way - every breath, every word, every thought, every act is an act of ministry...
