One summer during high school, he had a conversion experience while participating in the youth group at home at Trinity Cathedral, led by the Rev.
[2] Glenn attended the University of South Carolina and during this time was discipled by a Presbyterian minister in Columbia who educated him on Reformed theology.
[4] After his ordination, Glenn served at a small rural parish in South Carolina, then as assistant rector at St. Philip's Episcopal Church in Charleston for six years.
"Regardless of one's view of women's ordination, we were now on slippery slope of mandating behavior that had neither been thoroughly studied theologically nor considered extensively with our ecumenical partners," Glenn recalled.
"[3] In September 1997, Glenn joined a group of 26 conservative or traditionalist Episcopal priests—including Chuck Murphy, T. J. Johnston, and Jeffrey Steenson―in signing what became called the "First Promise" statement.
[9] Murphy and former Trinity School for Ministry dean John Rodgers were made bishops by Emmanuel Kolini and Moses Tay.
[14] In 2005, Glenn was called as rector of All Saints, Pawleys Island, succeeding future bishop David Bryan as senior pastor.
"[17] By the next year, the relationship between AMIA chairman Murphy and the Anglican Church of Rwanda's house of bishops, led by Kolini's successor Onesphore Rwaje, had broken down over questions of financial transparency and collegiality.
"In one case, bishops turned on congregations and clergy in ways that were worse than anything that had occurred at the hands of TEC when AMIA was formed in the first place.
"[18]v In early 2012, a majority of AMIA congregations elected to remain canonically in the Rwandan church and pursue full membership and "dual citizenship" in the ACNA, forming PEARUSA.
[20] After new bishops were elected for PEARUSA, Glenn moved to Houston to plant the Church of the Apostles in the newly forming ACNA Diocese of the Western Gulf Coast.
