 John Mark Wiggers is the son of a Southern Baptist minister. He discovered the Episcopal Church in 1991 as a college student. While at a conference in 1995 on youth work at Kanuga he met his wife, and they married a year later. As his priestly strengths he lists preaching, teaching, and “abiding.”
His hobbies are reading, writing, coffee, and cooking, and recent books that grabbed his attention are Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff by Christopher Moore, A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving, The Essential Rumi, translated by Coleman Barks, and The Gospel and the Catholic Church by Archbishop Michael Ramsey. He listens to Cake, Ben Harper, and Jack Johnson, watchs Big Love and 30 Rock on TV, and lists The Big Lebowski and American Beauty as among his favorite movies.
If he had to give himself a label it would be “Liberal Anglo-Catholic Evangelical Idealist with melancholy tendencies.” He was licensed to preach in the Southern Baptist Church at age 14, and has been doing so ever since.
