After an extensive career in business, Hutchens attended seminary at the University of the South in Sewanee, Tenn. He first served as rector of an Episcopal church in Maryland, then moved to Americus, where he led an Episcopal Church for four years. He later left to found an Anglican church in Americus. He currently serves as the dean of the South Georgia Convocation within the Anglican Diocese of the South.

Hansen was ordained in 1982 and served congregations in Florida and Kentucky.

He traveled extensively for over 10 years bringing these teachings to the church through weekends, retreats, clergy continuing education, and teaching at two seminaries.
