Journey Home Roundtable with Fr, Ray Ryland,
Ned South, Dwight Longenecker
Former Episcopalians
Fr. Dwight Longenecker
Brought up in an American Evangelical home, I went to Bob Jones University--the jewel on the buckle of the Bible Belt. While there I came down with a severe case of Anglophilia from reading too much C.S.Lewis and Tolkien and T.S.Eliot. I went to study theology at Oxford, was ordained as an Anglican priest and stayed in England for twenty five years. After ten years wearing a dog collar I was received into the Catholic Church. I spent ten years as a layman writing articles and books no one reads. Then the call came to return to the United States. In December 2006 I was ordained as a Catholic priest. I am now chaplain at St Joseph's Catholic School in Greenville, South Carolina, and I am on the staff of St Mary's Greenville.
Fr. Ray Ryland
Oklahoma native Father Ray Ryland is a former minister of the Episcopal church. In 1963, he was received with his wife Ruth and their five children into the Catholic Church. Twenty years later, he was ordained to the priesthood of the Catholic Church, with a dispensation from the rule of celibacy.
Fr. Ryland earned his bachelor's degree from Phillips University in 1942. He also has studied at Harvard Divinity School; the Union Theological Seminary in New York, where he received his master's of divinity degree; Columbia University; Virginia Theological Seminary; University of the South; the University of San Francisco; and Marquette University, where he received a doctorate degree in religious studies. He also received a law degree from the law school at the University of San Diego, where he was a professor of theology for more than 20 years.
Currently, Fr. Ryland is an adjunct professor of theology at Franciscan University of Steubenville and serves as chaplain of the Coming Home Network and of Catholics United for the Faith. He is a contributing editor of This Rock magazine and an assistant pastor at St. Peter's Church in Steubenville, Ohio.
For those who may be interested.
Thanks, NYer!
should be a good show, thanks for the heads-up. (A lot better than what CBS has before the NCAA championship game.)
...actually, the show I saw dealt with three former Baptists, but, that aside, it was highly interesting and informative...better than the game itself, in all honesty...
pinging you to this article...
My Pastor at Our Lady of Walsingham, and his twin brother, were Anglican priests, from Australia, for (I think) twenty-five years before being received into the Roman Catholic church. I think they’ve now been in the Roman church for twenty.
