Philosopher Jacob Covell, upon the birth of his son, experienced a powerful drive of passionate responsibility that far transcended the needs of evolution. Something beyond objective science is at work in the universe.

The Rev. Robert J. Broesler, a member of Mill Creek since 2013, began his career as a psychotherapist. He is a retired Episcopal Priest, and previous Director of the State of Delaware Office of Community Services. His present life is deeply shaped by the loss of his youngest son Justin to suicide in 2017, and the journey back to meaning since that loss.  Now “retired’, his passion is serving people who have experienced loss, especially those who have lost a child. He is honored to have been an occasional preacher at Mill Creek.
