About Wynn, Rick and their Foundation

Wynn Wagner

In the 1960s, Wynn toured with the Texas Boys' Choir of Fort Worth.

In the 1970s, he was a rock-and-roll disc jockey on a number of radio sta­tions. One year, radio commercial scripts he wrote won every radio award possible in Corpus Christi. He also refurbished and flipped houses along the gulf coast of Texas. When he left Corpus Christ, the mayor gave him a key to the city. It was only later that Wynn saw the key was for Tulsa.

In the 1980s, he dealt with ad­diction issues and launched a new career in computer programming. In the early years of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, Wynn released a new computer program that raised money for HIV/AIDS care when few others were trying to help. The program — The Opus BBS System — was one of the most popular communication programs of all time, and every penny it earned went directly to HIV/AIDS care. One release of Opus was so eagerly anticipated that long distance phone lines into Dallas couldn't handle the added traffic. That version was installed and operational on every continent other than Antarctica within a half hour of its release.

In the 1990s, he was still pro­gramming com­puters including software used to compute taxes for large corporations and accounting firms.

A brochure Wynn wrote for newly-diagnosed HIVs has been translated into a number of languages (including sign-language). It is available on-line and is reprinted by health agencies around the world. According to AEGiS, “Day One” has been read by more people than anything else written about HIV/AIDS.

In the new millennium, he completed studies to be a priest in the Liberal Catholic Church. Fr. Wynn later changed affiliation to the Old Catholic Church, where he became a bishop.

Bishop Wynn has written (or co-written) a number of books, including “A Catechism of the Liberal Catholic Church,” “A Prayer Book,” “Pax et Fides” and “Influential.”
