Who is The Ox?

Hello and welcome to my blog.  (You can also check out the archive of my old website.)

My name is Steve Wood, and I am the Rector, or Senior Pastor, of St. Andrew’s Church in Mt. Pleasant, SC. My family (1 wife, 4 sons and a dog) moved to the lowcountry from Ohio (where else?) in August 2000.  I studied theology at Virginia Theological Seminary earning an M.Div.  I am currently pursuing doctoral courses at Reformed Theological Seminary.

The purposes of this blog are many. Primarily, though, my hope is to create a community where conversation on topics ranging from sports to current events to matters of theology – and everything in between – takes place. Regular readers will find, I hope, a helpful and fun (and maybe, at times, annoying) resource for your spiritual journey. Many of the thoughts, comments and conversation starters will be mine. However, the reader will also discover the thoughts of respected, and some not-so-respected, thinkers (Christian and other) on a variety of topics.

If you wish to stay current with this blog, I suggest you do so via an RSS feed.  (One of our staff favorites for aggregating RSS feeds is Google Reader.) That way, anytime a new post is posted or a new comment is posted, you will be notified.

Welcome to my neighborhood, I look forward to our conversations!
