Chris Bowhay began his service at St. Peter’s in April of 2015. Born and raised in California, he was ordained in Washington, D.C. in 1992, married to Sally in San Francisco in 1997 and, with their daughter Augusta, cheerfully followed Our Lord's call to Houston in 2000 and Nashville in 2012 before he found his true home in Columbia. For him, the love of God is experienced as much in hilarious creativity as in traditional worship, compassionate listening as in apostolic doctrine, genuine vulnerability as in resilient trust in God. He loves to read fiction and history, to watch movies and shows, to listen to favorite old songs and new music crushes, to cook classic meals and contemporary dishes but he wishes he made more time for it all. He also loves comedy.

ST. JOHN'S ASHWOOD
St. John’s is an Episcopal Church located in the community of Ashwood, six miles south of Columbia, Tennessee. St. John’s was constructed on the Polk Plantation under the direction of Leonidas Polk who later became Bishop of the Diocese of Louisiana. Construction took three years and was completed in 1842. St. John’s was an active church in the Diocese of Tennessee until 1915. During the Civil War, St. John’s was used as a hospital by the Confederate Army. Today, St. John’s is used by St. Peter’s for an annual Spring pilgrimage.
