Fr. McLean serves as the Rector of St. Brendan's and the Archdeacon of North Washington for the Diocese of Cascadia. Prior to his call to the PNW, he served in Anglican churches in New England, Texas, and North Carolina. McLean's greatest joy in ministry is seeing others grow both in life-giving relationship with Jesus, and ever into His glorious image (2 Cor. 3:18). Raised in San Antonio, TX, McLean+ holds an M.Div from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in S. Hamilton, Mass., and a B.A in History from the University of Texas at Austin. McLean+ enjoys time with his wife Mary Moore, coffee & books, playing music (preferably with his three kids dancing along), and hiking with his family in God's beautiful creation.

But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God. -Galatians 4:4-7
