The Reflector
Welcome to the official online home of Patrick Nafziger. I am a Mennonite minister, a hospice chaplain, and a writer. I tend to explore themes of home and/or place, our shared mortality, Anabaptist reflections on scripture, and beauty that I find in the mundane and absurd.
Chances are you’ve found this space because you know me in real life, or you’ve stumbled upon my substack space and for some reason you became curious about who I am. Regardless of how you got here, I’m glad you’re here. I hope you find something useful or entertaining as you click around. ~Patrick
These writings grow out of pastoral life, hospice work, and the long conversation between faith and the ordinary world.
