Bio

Born and adopted in Cincinnati, Ohio, Art was educated at Princeton University, Indiana University, Christ Seminary, Covenant Seminary, and the University of Chicago. Ordained as a Lutheran pastor in 1981, as an Anglican priest in 2010, he served for thirty years as parish pastor and church planter in Germany, Chicago, Augusta, St. Louis, St Paul, Plano, and Louisville. For a decade, he served as senior staff  in the Anglican Diocese of Christ Our Hope, where his ministry focused on leadership development, liturgy, and the spiritual health of clergy and parishes throughout the Carolinas and Mid-Atlantic.

​

Through four decades of diverse ministry in a variety of settings, a common thread has been a passion to help others grow their capacity to listen deeply and prayerfully to God, introducing them to contemplative spiritual practices such as lectio divina, centering prayer, silence, and solitude.

Art has been married for 43 years to Dr. Nancy Going. They live in Nashville and have two adult children and eight grandchildren.
