Honey Brook Presbyterian Church

Ed worked in the business world long before becoming a pastor. When he felt the call into the pastorate, he began attending Princeton Theological Seminary. He and his wife had two small children, so he juggled his studies while caring for his son, Evan, and his daughter, Meredith.

Ed began his calling as a pastor in 1994 at a PCUSA church in Stillwater, located in the northwest region of New Jersey. He was there for five years and then accepted a call in Perry County, Pennsylvania where he remained until 2011. He then came back to New Jersey and pastored for five years in a Dutch Reformed Church. Ed then took a year to receive schooling in Clinical Pastoral Education to become a chaplain. From 2017-2022, Ed worked as the chaplain and spiritual bereavement supervisor for the Hospice of New Jersey. He retired from this position in 2022 and he and Linda moved to Lancaster. In January 2023, Ed began working part-time with Caring Hospice Services in Lancaster. He will leave this position at the end of December to begin his time here at Honey Brook Presbyterian. Linda has a doctoral degree in Sociology. She is a Professor Emeritus from Columbia University where she taught in the Public Health Department for 36 years. She now teaches a Public Health class at F&M College. She serves as an elder at the First Presbyterian Church of Lancaster. Ed’s daughter, Meredith, lives in the Lancaster area and has two little girls. Ed and Linda are enjoying being grandparents to their granddaughters, Poppy, age 4 and Dahlia who is 3 months. Ed’s son, Evan, lives in Atlanta, Georgia. Ed’s position at our church will be part-time. He will be in the office one day each week (most likely Wednesday) but will be flexible on the day according to our needs. He will also be preaching three Sundays a month. Ed will always be available by phone. His phone number is 717-205-6943.
