Fr. Guy was reared in the Holiness Movement within the Christian and Missionary Alliance Church, where his father was a pastor. He holds an undergraduate degree in business and was awarded a Doctor of Theology through Laud Hall Theological Seminary in June of 2009.

His move into Anglicanism was at the feet of Liturgy and Sacrament rather than theology or church politics. He pursued a vocation as a teacher first, taking his seminary training at Cranmer Theological House, under the disciplines of the 'old' prayerbook (1928), and the monastic observances of communal living, praying, and working. His post-graduate work is in the field of liturgical theology, specifically as it relates to the continuing miracle of God's presence in the Church and her mission. Fr. Guy is a founding member of the Anglican Order of Preachers (the Dominicans), having made his vows in the OPA in 2002.

Outside the vocations of a priest and preacher, Fr. Guy holds a second degree black belt in karate, spends time building scale models (mostly military aircraft) along with a smattering of simple carpentry, and plays a very less than average round of golf.

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I have had the theme of Christian Reconciliation and Forgiveness on my mind heavily of late. To that end I have worked through some thoughts and some Scriptures on the theme and have begun a video series on the topics. My intention is to post a segment each Tuesday for the next five or six weeks until the outline is complete.
If you are a parishioner of St John’s, of course feel free to discuss any topics with me (or the other clergy) at any time. If you are not but these things are of interest to you, make YOUR pastor watch them with you and discuss them together!
Provided here is a link to a YouTube posting of the first segment.
Here is segment two. Here is segment three.
Here is segment four. Here is segment five.
Here is segment six. Here is segment seven.

Fr. Mackey has published a book entitled God in Particular: An Ecclesiastical Christology. In this work, he seeks to show the reader that the developed worship and devotion of the Western Church is not simply a matter of option or personality but a participation in the revelation of God to the world. By examining the Festal Cycles and the exposition of Scripture as it relates to the continuing miracle of the Incarnation, Fr. Mackey opens the door to a refreshed life in the Sacramental Church.
