Greetings, friend! My name is Chad Whitacre. I am a member of St. Nicholas Orthodox Church, and Gospel Desk is an excuse to talk about God. May it be a good excuse!

I grew up in the Episcopal Church, and I studied Ancient Languages (with a minor in Biblical and Theological Studies) at Wheaton College. I helped launch the Anglican Church in North America. Then I tried to start my own denomination, Christian Minimalism. Now here I am, a layman in the Orthodox Church in America. Pray for me, a sinner.

I publish this website with the blessing of my bishop, His Eminence, Archbishop Melchisidek of Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania. He has appointed Fr. Thomas Soroka (my priest) and Dr. Edith Humphrey (my godmother) to review the materials published here, “to maintain the principle of ‘when two or three are gathered,’” so that thereby Gospel Desk might be “‘of the Church’ in a very concrete sense.” I am deeply grateful to all three.

Thanks for visiting! Glory to God for all things! ✚
