"Eugene H. Peterson (1932–2018) was a founding pastor of Christ Our King Presbyterian Church in Bel Air, Maryland, in 1962, and served that one congregation for 29 years before retiring in 1991. In 1980 he published A Long Obedience in the Same Direction: Discipleship in an Instant Society, picturing the Christian life as a long obedience in one direction."
