From the Toledo Blade:
The Rev. Daniel Hackney, a self-professed "ecumenical mutt," has found a home in the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Church.
Father Daniel, 45, grew up in a Baptist family, was active in the evangelical Jesus movement, attended Assembly of God and Roman Catholic universities, and served as a pastor in the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod for 10 years.
On Sunday, he was ordained an Antiochian Orthodox priest by Bishop Mark Maymon, bishop of Toledo and the Midwest Diocese, in a ceremony at St. Elias Antiochian Orthodox Church in Sylvania.
"...I wanted to be a part of something whose worship transcends categories such as traditional and contemporary, something that remains the same so that I can have the assurance that my children and their children will be praying the same prayers, singing the same hymns, and worshipping in the same way."
Father Daniel, a captain in the U.S. Army Reserve, plans to apply this summer for active duty as a chaplain.
