Dr. Wing is a gifted preacher, administrator, mentor, and teacher. He believes in parish ministry as the "place where theological thought joins with willing hearts to meet the terrible brokenness that our headlines parade in front of us daily in the newspaper and hourly on CNN." He has echoed the words of Thomas Merton who said that God is revealed to us "in scripture, inside ourselves and in the face of the stranger." Dr. Wing insists that the church is still the best place to unpack and reflect on those encounters.
