St. John's Rector
Father Guy Mackey
...has served in ordained ministry for over twenty-five years. A lifelong teacher and pastor, he brings to his ministry a love of Scripture, a passion for thoughtful theology, and a deep respect for the slow, often surprising work of the Holy Spirit.
He is a member of the Anglican Order of Preachers—an expression of the Dominican tradition within the Episcopal Church—committed to the sacred work of study, preaching, and prayer in everyday life. He teaches in diocesan formation programs, helps train new preachers, and mentors those exploring their call to ministry.
Fr. Guy’s approach to theology is grounded in mystery, shaped by daily practice, and always open to wonder. He believes good theology should never be divorced from the grit and grace of real life—and that most people are hungry not for answers, but for presence, perspective, and peace.
He is married to Susan, his best friend and steadying companion, and finds joy in their quiet, creative life together. When he’s not teaching or writing, he’s often building something in the garage, planning his next art piece, or tinkering.
If it matters to you…
Fr. Guy earned his M.Div. in 1998 from Cranmer Theological House, completed a Th.D. at Laud Hall in 2009, and a Ph.D. from Evangel Christian University in 2017. He suspects none of it made him wiser, just more fun to argue with.
