AbouT Rev. Jeff Lewis
Welcome.
I’m a captain of a vintage schooner, writer and vicar of a small island church off the coast of Maine.
I also write and give talks about the most intimate, challenging and joyous aspects of being a father, a husband, a teacher, and pastor. As a vicar, my faith inspires and guides me in all I do, but I speak and write for wide audience, regardless of what they believe - or don’t.

UPCOMING BOOK
'REFLECTIONS OF A BOATYARD PRIEST'
The age in which we find ourselves has left many of us tired and confused, torn between impossible choices, with no North Star by which we can orient our lives. In some ways my work is an exploration of the tempting false choices that are foisted upon us when nothing is known or believed to be ultimately true. These include the debate between science and religion, between honest skepticism and the encouragement of faith, between wonder and knowledge, between the desires and the commitment.

ARTWORK
Painting is side passion for me. I love to put on good music and go after a feeling or an image with shapes and colors in ways I can’t always find in words.
