Rick is founder of All Saints Company and co-founder of St. Gregory of Nyssa Episcopal Church.  Since the early days of his ordained ministry, Rick has offered to the church an extraordinary ability to synthesize modern church growth models with patristic theology and practice.  He realized his life-long dream to found a church on the teaching of the Cappadocian theologians with the founding of St. Gregory of Nyssa in 1978, which has developed an international reputation as a center for the development of Christian worship.  A highly-regarded liturgical scholar, he is a member of the international Societas Liturgica and the North American Academy of Liturgy.  He continues to lecture and write, and his church music compositions are published in various Episcopalian service books.
