Here's my family: in the lower left are son Kevin Lyon and his wife Gennifer Meeker Lyon and our grandson Riley Lyon who live in Santa Paula, CA. Upper right are wife Carol and me. Lower right is daughter Rita Lyon, who lives near us in North College Hill.

I live in College Hill, one of Cincinnati's great neighborhoods. To help spread the word, I co-edit the College Hill eNewsletter and help Tom Strothers with the Internet Gateway to College Hill website. I developed a quick website for Christ's Community in College Hill.

Wife Carol and I are active Episcopalians. To help support our local church, I built a website for Grace Church in College Hill and I edit eGraceNotes, our enewsletter.

I work around the building and occasionally preach. You can read some of my sermons here.

For eight years, I was a Mentor for the University of the South School of Theology's EfM (Education for Ministry) program. Most people complete this program, which provides the essentials of a seminary education, in four years; in my additional eight years of leading classes, I found I'd missed a lot my first time through. There's nothing like teaching to help one get one's mind around the material.
