Answering the call with John Plummer

In this episode, I had the honor of interviewing John Plummer. John grew up in and around Nashville, TN.   He was unsuccessfully raised Southern Baptist and later baptized into the Roman Catholic Church.    He first came across independent sacramental churches in the mid-1980s.   After becoming actively involved in the ISM in the early to mid-90s, he was ordained to the priesthood in 1996 and consecrated in 1998.    He has degrees from Fordham – Bachelor of Arts in both philosophy & theology, Vanderbilt – Master of Arts, in history of Christian thought; and, the Graduate Theological Foundation – Doctor of Philosophy in theology.  He is perhaps best known for the published version of his dissertation, The Many Paths of the Independent Sacramental Movement.    John is now the associate pastor and bishop coadjutor at St Basil's Parish in Nashville, preaching and celebrating the liturgy every week.
