St. Luke's Anglican Church
Who We Are
Our Mission
Our parish is called by God to worship him joyfully and to celebrate his presence with us; to rejoice in the blessings we have received from him; to enthusiastically share the Gospel with those who don't know; to minister to all those who are in trouble, sorrow, need, sickness, or any other adversity; and to practice the faith once delivered to the saints, all for the glory of God and our salvation.
Our Community
This is the house of God; everyone is welcome to join with us in worship and fellowship. If you are a visitor, we greet you in the Name of the Lord. If you are seeking a church home, we invite you to join our parish family. We have an active Sunday School that meets during the 10 am service every Sunday. The children learn about the Old and New Testaments through lessons, art projects and other crafts.
Our History
Our church is part of the Anglican Church in America, (a member of the Worldwide Traditional Anglican Church), which stands in the unbroken continuity of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic church of our Lord Jesus Christ. Our faith is based on the eternal Word of God as found in holy Scripture, and Catholic Tradition as taught by the seven ecumenical councils of the undivided Church of the first millennium A.D. St. Luke's was founded in 1990, by a number of dedicated lay people and the Rev. Dean Steward. Bishop Webb became Bishop Suffragan on February 18, 2017 and Bishop Ordinary on January 1, 2023.

Church in America and to St. Luke’s Church in 2011 and has been the priest in residence at St.

Northeast. He took over as Bishop Ordinary in 2023. He now divides his time between work for
the parish and for the Diocese, and is extremely grateful for the able assistance of his associate
clergy within the parish.
Bishop Webb furthered his education with a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology and a
Doctorate of Ministry in Marriage and Family Therapy. During his free time, Bishop Webb
enjoys reading and photography.

The Reverend Canon Ronald Hansen was born on June 1st, 1976, in Accra, Ghana. Currently he lives in Leominster, Massachusetts with his family. He was raised in the Anglican Church. From the time he was a young boy, he has always tried to be open to whatever God called him to do. His great grandfather served as a Canon Emeritus in the Anglican Diocese of Accra which is a diocese of the Church of the Province of West Africa. He instilled in him the love to serve God and His Church, but it never seriously entered his heart and mind that God might call him into the priesthood.
He was educated at Fitchburg State University where he earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Science. He entered the seminary and enrolled into Master of Sacred Theology program at St. Andrew’s Theological College and Seminary, Charlotte, North Carolina. There he became a nominee for diaconal ordination into the ministry in 2015. Three years later he was ordained into the priesthood. It’s his prayer that the Holy Spirit will guide and lead him throughout the journey ahead of him and be present with him always.

“I’m old, fat, and out of shape. But Jesus doesn’t care.”
So, Richard, what is it you do at St. Luke’s?
My primary role is to do pastoral visitation (although I suppose you could call it diaconal visitation). I try to visit
everyone in the church twice a year, either in their homes or over coffee. That gives me the chance to
listen to your life, to see if we can figure out together where Jesus is working in your life and, maybe,
help you cooperate with Him. The visit also lets me know how I can pray for you in my nightly
intercessions for the folks at St. Luke’s.
Interesting. What makes you qualified for that?
Oh, nothing formal; for example, I don’t have a spiritual director certification. I was a pastor for twelve
years and became a Certified Integral Coach. I’ve struggled with prayer and connecting to Jesus all my
life, so have read hundreds of books about prayer and spiritual growth, been on silent retreats – I’ve
even written two books on prayer. So when you tell me you’re having a hard time sensing God or
connecting with God, I get it. And I might be able to offer you something else to try.
Ok. Do you have a family?
Yes, I’ve been married to Pam since 1977 and we have three children, all adults. Our oldest, Katie, lives
in Murfreesboro, TN, where she runs an online publishing house. Our son, Kirk, lives in Decatur, GA; he
works in second-tier technical support and does voice-over as a side hustle. Our youngest, Gwen, lives in
Wilton, NH, and has two jobs. She’s the staff trainer at American K-9 Country; she also runs the
hyperbaric chamber for a local doctor.
You know I have to ask you how you spend your spare time.
Sure. I read. A lot. Lots of science fiction (I’m in a sci-fi reading club that meets twice a month), lots of
theology, and lots about woodworking. Woodworking is my longest-term hobby; I like to design and
build conceptual furniture. As far as active hobbies go, I keep trying to find something I’ll enjoy enough
to keep at it. (So far, I’ve explored running, biking, fencing, Tai Chi, and kayaking.) And at any given point
I’m probably working on developing a general model for spiritual formation.
Anything else I should know?
Any time you’re in earshot, you’re in a bad joke zone.
