On August 15th , I concluded a season of ministry as the Interim Rector of  Historic Calvary Episcopal Church in Charleston. My commitment had been for a year, and it gave me great joy to walk with them during that time.  We all worked very hard to help the Calvary family get ready for their new chapter.  

The ship is mostly in order, the search committee is beginning their work, and another interim, The Rev. Dr. Ann Broomell is stepping up to the tiller to help navigate the process of calling their next Rector.  I cannot say it strongly enough – it has been a huge BLESSING to me to serve them, and we have formed a heart connection that will persist.  May God bless them most wonderfully in their next chapter.  As for me, I’m retiring  for the second time and that is VERY welcome.
