Welcome to Christ Church Cathedral
A Prayer for the Diocese: O God, by your grace you have called us in this Diocese to a goodly fellowship of faith. Bless our Bishop, and other clergy, and all our people. Grant that your Word may be truly preached and truly heard, your Sacraments faithfully administered and faithfully received. By your Spirit, fashion our lives according to the example of your Son, and grant that we may show the power of your love to all among whom we live; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. BCP, p. 817

Clergy nominees: (No nominations received)
Lay nominees: Rene Sanders
Episcopal Church of the Advent, Crestwood This is my initial volunteering to serve within the diocese beyond what I’ve done for my parish and my convocation. I’ve been a member of Church of the Advent-Crestwood for quite a while by now, but have been an Episcopalian in the diocese for much longer. Christ Church was one church home when I was much younger. It’s always held a special place in my heart. It’s time for me to step up to serve. My involvement, beyond my parish, includes being involved as a delegate to Metro III as far back as the mid-1990s. I’ve always appreciated hearing about what’s going on at other parishes and the diocese. Within my parish, I’ve served on the Finance Committee. I’ve also been involved with our Daughters of the King chapter at Advent.
Deputation to General Convention electing 8 clergy members and 8 lay members
These members will represent our diocese at the 2021 General Convention of the Episcopal Church in Baltimore, MD.
Clergy nominees: The Rev. Mike Angell
Episcopal Church of the Holy Communion, University City I would be honored to represent the Diocese of Missouri at the 80th Convention of the Episcopal Church in Baltimore. Before I was called to Holy Communion, I served on the Presiding Bishop’s Staff as the Missioner for Young Adult and Campus Ministries. In that position I worked with bishops of large metropolitan areas, with leaders of small rural parishes, even with young adults on the Standing Rock reservation in North Dakota. The church-wide breadth of experience and relationships I gained in this position could be an asset to our delegation. I am the 13th rector of Holy Communion in University City. Holy Communion is one of the most diverse parishes in our diocese. At Holy Communion, I have learned to listen and minister with folks across differences of race, culture, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, and income. Holy Communion is growing numerically, but as a church, we are also seeking to grow deeper in our call to follow Jesus. We are called to make Christ’s reconciling love knowing in our city, nation, and world. I am blessed to serve with a wonderful and diverse group of leaders.

Outside my work at Holy Communion, I have served for the last four years on the Commission on Ministry, and as chair for the last three. I continue to be inspired by the leaders we raise up for ministry in this diocese. I also am a member of the board of Cristosal, an Anglican-founded Human Rights Advocacy Organization based in El Salvador. I also recently finished a term as the vice president of Virginia Theological Seminary’s Alumni Association. My husband Ellis Anderson and I live in the city of St. Louis. We are currently in the process to adopt our one year old foster son Silas.
The Rev. Dayna Jewson
St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, Manchester Church of the Good Shepherd, Town & Country I am a lifelong Episcopalian, ordained deacon in 2004 in the Diocese of West Missouri. I served two churches in West Missouri from 2004 until 2012, Christ Church, Warrensburg and All Saints, Kansas City, before moving to the Diocese of Missouri. In the Diocese of Missouri, I have served St. Paul’s, Carondelet, and the parish partnership of St. Luke’s, Manchester and Church of the Good Shepherd, Town and Country. In addition to the general ministries of the church and contributing to the life of the parishes, I’m particularly active in health care and outreach ministries. Most of my adult life has been spent working as a registered nurse, primarily doing hospice care. Since retiring in 2016, I have worked as a volunteer for the Visiting Nurse Association seeing patients as well as sitting vigil with the dying. As a deacon in the Diocese of West Missouri I served as a deputy to General Convention, and I would be grateful for the privilege to represent the Diocese of Missouri at the 80th General Convention. I have a passion and love for the church and believe that General Convention is an instrument to create change in the church and the world and it’s an honor to be considered to serve.
The Rev. Ian Lasch Grace Episcopal Church, Jefferson City I would be thrilled to serve the Diocese of Missouri as a member of its Deputation to the 80th General Convention of the Episcopal Church. I am dedicated to my ordination vow to take my share in the councils of the Church and am always looking for ways to live that vow. To that end, I currently serve on the Diocesan Board of Examining Chaplains, as well as the Diocesan Commission on Church Architecture and the Allied Arts. I have followed the past several General Conventions very closely, including paying close attention to the resolutions of Convention and changes to the Constitution and Canons, and so have a clear idea of what to expect and how to stay informed even with quickly developing legislation. I am deeply committed to good governance as a means of ensuring justice and fairness, and I have a passion for even what some might call the minutia of church governance, having helped revise the bylaws of the student body while attending seminary. If elected, I would take my role very seriously, making sure to understand the resolutions being considered and to represent the Diocese of Missouri well. I also greatly enjoy teaching and distilling information and would seek to ensure that the decisions made and actions taken at General Convention were explained clearly and simply throughout the Diocese of Missouri upon my return.

The Rev. Charles Earl Mahan
St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, Manchester Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd, Town & Country The Rev. C. Earl Mahan serves as Rector of Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd, in Town and Country, and St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, in Manchester. He moved to St. Louis in 2017. Prior to his service in the Diocese of Missouri, he served parishes in the Dioceses of Kansas (2011-2017) and West Texas (2006-2011). Prior to ministry in the Episcopal Church, he was a pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, serving congregations in Michigan and Texas (1994 – 2005). He currently serves the Diocese of Missouri on the Resolutions Committee, as well as serving as co-facilitator for the clergy Fresh Start program. Earl is the father of Trevor, in his third year of studies at Allegheny College, and Mikayla, who is in her senior year at Wichita East High School. He and his wife Angela recently celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary.
The Rev. Todd McDowell
Grace Episcopal Church, Kirkwood We are faced with an exciting and challenging time in our diocese and our Episcopal Church. I would like to represent our diocese at General Convention as we continue our journey of transformation and reconciliation as disciples of Jesus Christ. I have had the privilege to attend three general conventions, the first in Denver in 2000 as a legislative aid and most recently in 2018 in Austin as your clergy alternate. My journey in our diocese began as a college student in the early 1980’s and has continued through ordained ministry for the last 19 years. I am blessed these last 10 years to serve the people of Grace Church in Kirkwood as their rector as we together continue to live into God’s mission and ministry locally and in the wider world.
The Rev. Beth Scriven
Rockwell House Episcopal Campus Ministry, St. Louis Service to the wider church has been an important part of my life and ministry since I was a teenager, and especially throughout my 11 years as a priest.
After observing one General Convention and leading youth and young adult participants at another, I was privileged to serve as a deputy from this diocese in 2018. As a member of the Special Committee on Sexual Harassment & Exploitation, I organized testimonies and tracked legislative progress for 30+ resolutions of the committee. Through that experience, I was consistently reminded how Jesus is powerfully present in our care for one another, from our direct encounters to the laws and policies we enact to guide us as the body of Christ. I would say the same of my recent term on the Chapter of Christ Church Cathedral, and in my current appointments as Province V Coordinator for Campus & Young Adult Ministries and on the church-wide Task Force for Sexual Harassment Prevention. In any ministry, my first priority is to watch and listen for what God is doing among us and where God may be leading us. I believe this work is crucial for deputies, who must enter General Convention informed and attentive but remain open to the work of the Holy Spirit in the room. I find that my deep concern for context, my genuine enjoyment of administrative tasks, the sneak peeks of the future I get from working with college students, and the joy I find in creative and collaborative work, also help me serve well as a deputy to General Convention. I would be honored to have the chance to serve the Diocese of Missouri in this way again in 2021.

The Rev. Leslie Scoopmire
St. Martin’s Episcopal Church, Ellisville As a member of this diocese since 1986, as a layperson and now a priest, I would welcome the opportunity to serve the wider church as a delegate to General Convention. I have served alongside so many of the faithful people of this diocese in my more than 30 years here: as a layperson and musician at diocesan convention as well as at St. Timothy’s, Creve Coeur; St. John’s, Tower Grove; and Holy Communion, University City; as well as a seminarian at St. Stephen’s, Ferguson and Church of the Good Shepherd, Town and Country. I have been blessed to serve as Priest-in-Charge of St. Martin’s Episcopal Church in Ellisville since August of 2018, and I am a current a member of the Standing Committee. Prior to my call to St. Martin’s, I have been engaged in many vibrant ministries in a number of parishes and ministries within the diocese. During my first year of ordained ministry, I was given the exciting opportunity of getting to know and worship alongside Episcopalians in a variety of parishes throughout the diocese, such as St. John’s, Eolia; Calvary, Louisiana; Christ Church, Rolla; Christ Church Cathedral, St. Louis; and St. Mark’s, St. Louis. In the wider church, I have formed relationships with many wonderful people across the Episcopal Church through my work leading our diocesan youth to the Episcopal Youth Event in 2017, my writing schedule for EpiscopalCafe.com’s Speaking to the Soul, and activities as a communicator. In the spring of 2019, I was invited to advocate in our nation’s capitol on behalf of the Episcopal Church and Bread for the World to preserve foreign aid funding for infant and maternal nutrition and health programs. I believe the Episcopal Church is uniquely positioned for this time in our society, when so many are hungering for meaning and purpose, for a sense of belonging to something greater than themselves. Episcopalians in particular have a faithful, joyful, Spirit-filled witness, grounded in ancient practice, for which so many in our world hunger and thirst. I would welcome the chance to facilitate our common life together as we, as a denomination, seek to witness in the Way of Jesus, continually rejoicing in God’s abundant grace. I am so grateful to be married to my wonderful husband, Bill, for 31 years, and we are the proud parents of three young adult children, Lauren, Katie, and Scott, as well as three rescue dogs: Kobe, Dakota, and Finnegan.
The Rev. Tamsen E. Whistler
Trinity Episcopal Church, St. Charles My name is Tamsen Whistler. I have been privileged to serve this diocese as a lay person and a priest all my adult life. I would be deeply honored to serve as a Deputy to General Convention in 2021. Since May 1, 1995, I have been Rector of Trinity Church in St. Charles. In the past 24 years, we have undergone both painful and joyful transitions in spiritual formation, energy, size, and diversity—affirming our commitment to God’s mission today and its roots in our founding by Jackson Kemper in 1836. Before I went to seminary, I taught high school English and journalism for six years, five in Caruthersville, Missouri. I was a member of St. John’s Episcopal Church in Caruthersville, where I served as a lay reader, chalice bearer, diocesan convention delegate, clerk of the Bishop’s Committee. I was also an at-large member of Diocesan Council, and Episcopal Church board member of the Missouri Delta Ecumenical Ministry, which addressed issues of race and poverty in the Missouri Bootheel. St. John’s Church, now closed, was my sponsoring congregation in the ordination process. Degrees: B.S. Ed/MA English 1973/75, University of Missouri-Columbia; M.Div. 1984, Seabury-Western Seminary, Evanston, Illinois, 1984; Ordained Deacon, June 1984; Priest, February 1985. Since ordination, I have served at Grace Church, Jefferson City; Calvary Church, Columbia; and Trinity Church, St. Charles. As an ordained person, I have been a clerical representative to Diocesan Council, member of the Standing Committee, member - boards of Episcopal City Mission and Grace Hill, Province V Education Task Force, ESM instructor, and member of many DioMO teams, most recently, Baptism Task Force (2018), and Search/Nominating Committee for Bishop. Member of General Convention Committees: Congregational Vitality (2015, 2018), Christian Education (2006, 2012), Privilege and Courtesy (2003). I am committed to General Convention’s work and would be proud to serve again. The 180th Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Missouri

page 12
Lay nominees: Michael Booker
St. Francis’ Episcopal Church, Eureka I am asking for the opportunity to serve as a lay deputy to the 80th General Convention in 2021. I attended the 77th General Convention in Indianapolis in 2012 as a guest, and I was elected as a lay deputy from the Diocese of Missouri to the 78th and 79th General Conventions. During General Convention in 2018, I was asked to serve as secretary to the Legislative Committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Relations. That experience went quite well. As a consequence, at the end of 2018 I was elected by the Executive Council of the Episcopal Church to serve for three years on the Presbyterian-Episcopal Dialogue Committee. As a deputy to General Conventions in Salt Lake City and Austin, Texas, I posted daily to Diocese’s blog, offering regular updates on key events at those Conventions. I have been an Episcopalian since 1991 and have been a parishioner at St. Francis’ since 1999. My main ministry at St. Francis’ for the past two decades has been adult education, and I am also a licensed preacher. I also serve as usher, chalice bearer, lector, and intercessor. I have been a member of the Bishop’s Committee, Junior Warden and Senior Warden. I am a graduate of the Episcopal School for Ministry. I have been a member of the Commission on Ministry and the ESM Board, and I am currently a member of the Diocesan Board of Examining Chaplains. During the week I am Associate Dean of Humanities at Jefferson College in Hillsboro. I am a tenured Professor of Philosophy, and I am a retired Army Reserve officer.
Betty L. Bowersox
Grace Episcopal Church, Kirkwood Moving to St. Louis in 1987, lifelong Episcopalian Betty Bowersox worshiped at Church of the Good Shephard and was involved as an acolyte, lay reader, Eucharistic minister, Jr. Warden, and Metro IV representative to Diocesan Council. Betty served on Standing Committee when our 10th Diocesan Bishop was elected. Now worshiping at Grace, Kirkwood, she continues her altar services, plays in bell choir, is a member of Metro III, and chairs the Stewardship Committee. Betty is Vice-Chair of the Episcopal City Mission Board, served six years (three as Chair) on the Diocesan Committee on Nominations and Election Procedures, and is currently on Standing Committee and the Diocesan Resolutions Committee.
A native Detroiter with Mechanical Engineering degrees from Michigan State and Rensselaer Polytechnic in Troy, NY, Betty is very comfortable in leadership roles. A Fellow of her professional organization (ASME), she has served on ASME’s Board of Directors and is currently Chair of ASME’s Committee on Finance/Investment. Betty previously worked at GE, INDEECO, Air Products and retired early after leaving Nooter/Eriksen, having a varied career in manufacturing, QA, and project management. Now there’s more time to read, judge FIRST Robotics, assist on SLU’s Engineering Advisory Boards, and agree to serve when asked. She’s grateful she had the opportunity to join the Diocesan Mission Trip to New Orleans after Katrina, but best was being part of a 2014 Pilgrimage to Israel! The church is truly a community, and serving the Community is serving the Lord. In 2018 Betty served as co-chair of the Diocese of Missouri’s 2018 Deputation at the 79th General Convention, her first time participating in versus just following along with the General Convention activities. It was truly a thrill and a learning experience to be involved with the bishops, clergy and lay leaders setting policy for the Episcopal Church, and it would be an honor to be selected again to serve as a member of our GC80 Diocesan Deputation.

Adrienne L. Dillon, TSSF
All Saints and Ascension Episcopal Church, Northwoods I was pleased to serve as an alternate deputy to General Convention in 2015 and 2018 and to attend the convention last year in Austin, Texas. I also have experience as alternate and a deputy from another diocese. Since June 2019 I have been secretary to the executive board of Province V. I have been a member of the Commission on Dismantling Racism since 2005, and have participated on training teams as well as planning for events such as Absalom Jones Day. In June and July I was a panel member in the deputies’ “Larger Conversation” about racial reconciliation. I volunteer with Faith and For the Sake of All, making presentations on health disparities and access to housing. In recent years I have been a Girl Scout troop leader and a CASA volunteer with children in foster care. I am a member of All Saints and Ascension where I have been a Vestry member and taught Vacation Bible School. Currently I am a piano instructor in an arts ministry, All Saints Music and Arts Village, and I direct a children’s choir. This summer I graduated from Episcopal School for Ministry. I am a licensed lay preacher and I give an occasional homily at church. I have been a professed member of the Third Order, Society of St. Francis since 1978 and have served the order as a formation counselor and a fellowship convener. As a deputy, my main interests would be social and economic justice, dismantling racism, and liturgy. I teach piano and voice in my private studio and I sing In Legend Singers Choral Ensemble and Women’s HOPE Chorale. In my free time I read science fiction and make jewelry.
Lisa Fox
Grace Episcopal Church, Jefferson City My parish and our diocese include diverse perspectives, a search for common ground, and faithful commitment to the Gospel. I have been elected as a General Convention Deputy since 2012, and I yearn to serve again in 2021. I believe our church is poised to do great things — to take the Gospel of Christ into the world and bring people into our beloved church. After our 2015 Diocesan Convention, with its “Be Reconciled!” theme, my faith and my life in my parish were transformed. All voices in our diocese deserve respect and voice. While I am a left-leaning Episcopalian, I have respect and affection for those on the “other side of the aisle.” If elected, I will advocate with reverence and respect for all Episcopalians. I have been an active member of Grace since the Saturday I moved here in 1998. I have served on the Vestry (during interim and call processes), Stewardship Committee, and Community Ministry Committee. I serve in many liturgical roles, including crucifer (my most passionate calling!), lector, and intercessor. I chaired the discernment committees for Marc Smith and Anne Kyle. I was a missioner to Lui (2006) and chaired our Companion Diocese Committee for four years. I have been a Convention Delegate for many years, and served on the Nominating Committee and Resolutions Committees for several years. Our Bishop appointed me to the challenging work of the Anglican Covenant Task Force and the Working Group on Same-Sex Blessings. I have served on Standing Committee for the past two years, during our work to seek the 11th Bishop of Missouri, and have found that work grace-filled. If elected to serve again as a GC Deputy, I would again bathe myself in prayer, seek your prayers, and give voice to the rich and diverse voices of our diocese.

When not working in theatre she can be found enjoying classic films in her “Shug Shack.” Shug resides in Kirkwood, Missouri with her wife Doris. They have two daughters and one granddaughter in her sophomore year at Temple University. Shug has joyfully taken on steadily progressive responsibility in the diocese for many years. She is particularly well suited for the responsibilities of serving our diocese as a deputy to General Convention.
Elizabeth D. Yount
St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, Ladue I am a lifelong Episcopalian, spending most of my life as a member at St. Peter’s Church in Ladue. Ten years ago I was asked to serve as a delegate to the Diocesan Convention and thus began my journey into the larger Church. After serving several years as a delegate, I wanted to identify ways I could become more involved, sharing my time and talent with something I was becoming increasingly passionate about. The business of the Church at the diocesan and national level seemed a perfect fit. In 2013 and 2016 I was elected as an alternate lay deputy to the General Convention and in 2015 I was privileged to attend the Convention in Salt Lake City. For the 2018 convention in Austin, I was an active participant in the pre-work and assisted most notably in those areas requiring financial analysis. I have continued my participation in the Church at the Diocesan level, being elected to Diocesan Council in 2014 and 2018. As a member of Council I have served on the Budget Committee, the Clergy Compensation Committee, and the committee for New Ventures in Community Ministries. I currently serve on the budget committee and chair the New Ventures committee. My hope is to bring to the General Convention Delegation the experience I have acquired, my willingness to work, and my desire to be involved. I believe my background in accounting, my attention to detail, and my passion for numbers brings a unique talent to this group. I have been married to my husband, Jeff for over 34 years and we have three children, Katherine (married to Max Tonsi), Michael, and Christopher. We also have a grandson, Jack. I am a Certified Public Accountant and work for a national public accounting firm in St. Louis. I would be honored to serve as a member of the General Convention Deputation for the next three years.

Lyn Ballard
Grace Episcopal Church, Kirkwood Because the work of the Diocesan Council is important, relevant, and inspiring, I wish to be elected to serve as an at-large lay member. I was elected by Metro III to complete the final year (2019) of a three-year term to Council, during which I served on the Finance Committee. Now I would like to continue for a full term. I am a member of Grace Church, Kirkwood and was a member of St. Matthew’s, Warson Woods from 1977 until the parishes merged in 2013. In addition to Council, I have served my parish and the Diocese in many ways: Deputy to General Convention, Standing Committee (twice), Stewardship Committee, Task Force to Plan Convention (2013), Commission on Ministry (current), and Diocesan Board of Examining Chaplains (current chair). At Grace I have served on the Vestry, as Senior Warden, Stewardship Committee, Labyrinth Committee, Capital Campaign, Convention Delegate (current), and serve as a lay reader and Eucharistic minister. I love being actively involved in my parish while forging connections with our Diocese. I hold degrees in English literature, from the University of Missouri – Columbia and a master’s from Aquinas Institute of Theology.

George Hartsfield
Grace Episcopal Church, Jefferson City George Hartsfield has been an active member of Grace Episcopal Church in Jefferson City since his confirmation by Bishop Jones in 1978. George has actively participated in parish life through the ministries of reading, ushering, and counting Sunday offerings. For many years he chaired Grace Church’s Personnel Committee and Community Ministry Committee. He served on the vestry as an elected member and twice as treasurer and Finance Committee chair. While serving as treasurer he developed a cash flow policy and greatly increased the church’s investment portfolio. He also refocused the church’s benevolent efforts. He has also served as a delegate and an alternate delegate from Grace to Diocesan Convention. George’s professional career has been entirely management/leadership positions. As Area Manager and Regional Director for the telephone company, budgeting, financial management, and property management were important elements of his responsibilities. As President/CEO of the Jefferson City Area YMCA (the 3rd largest Y in Missouri), budgets, both operating and capital, and property management were once again priorities. George also bought and sold real estate several times while serving in these positions. For twenty years George and his wife have owned and managed twenty units of residential property, in what has been both a learning experience and a successful business venture. He also served as mayor of Jefferson City for eight years, where budgets and property were job responsibilities. George graduated Magna Cum Laude from Southeast Missouri State University with a Bachelor of Arts. His wife, Paula, has served as the deacon at Grace since 2012.

Clergy nominations: The Rev. Dayna Jewson
St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, Manchester Church of the Good Shepherd, Town & Country My life has been spent as a Registered Nurse working primarily in hospice care since 1983. I was ordained to the diaconate in 2004 in the Episcopal Diocese of West Missouri and have served in the Diocese of Missouri since 2012. Because I am a licensed healthcare professional, I am acutely aware of what can occur in the healthcare profession as far as misconduct is concerned and the need for disciplinary action. I have witnessed misconduct, personally experienced it, reported it, and have given deposition when necessary. Misconduct has affected parishes where I have been assigned and where I have been a parishioner. It has affected parishioners as well as myself, and I feel called to serve on the Disciplinary Board because of this. I know on two levels how misconduct affects parishes and individuals, very often doing grave damage. I currently serve at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church and Church of the Good Shepherd as deacon. This is a parish partnership in which clergy are shared between the two churches. In West Missouri, I served as Deputy to the General Convention and have been a member of several committees. I believe my previous experience as a Deputy to the General Convention has given me the knowledge necessary to serve again in the Diocese of Missouri. If elected to the Disciplinary Board, I would seek wholeness, wellness, and healing for all people, lay and clergy. If elected as Deputy to the General Convention, I would serve faithfully as a representative of the Diocese of Missouri.

Lay nominations: Carter Whitson
Trinity Episcopal Church, St. Louis I am Carter Whitson, a “big picture thinker” and a member of Trinity Church in the Central West End of St. Louis. In our parish, I sit on the Vestry and I bear the Chalice at least once a month during 8 a.m. mass. Over the past several years I participated in the Commission on Ministry. There I have met and supported aspirants, postulants and candidates for holy orders. But something happened to me while serving on the Search and Nominating Committee for the 11th Bishop of Missouri that led me to throw my hat in the ring for Standing Committee. I absolutely fell in love with this Diocese and the amazing people in it! With our new bishop, we have a tremendous opportunity to mine more deeply the rich data that was collected for producing the profile to develop and implement a strategic plan. The future looks bright for DioMO.

Resolution B-180:
Establishing A Diocesan Liturgical Commission Submitted by the West Convocation BE IT RESOLVED, that this 180th Convention of the Diocese of Missouri, in accordance with the recommendation of the 79th General Convention Resolution A068, call for the establishment of a Diocesan Liturgical Commission to work at the direction of the Bishop of Missouri and with guidelines provided by the same, as follows; and be it further RESOLVED, that this Commission engage interested worshipping communities in the Diocese in liturgical experimentation and the creation of alternative liturgical texts to offer to the wider church; and be it further RESOLVED, that this Commission collect the liturgical resources created by worshipping communities, reflect upon the same, and discern which resources to share with all worshipping communities in the Diocese and with the Task Force on Liturgical and Prayer Book Revision (TFLPBR) established by General Convention Resolution A068; and be it further RESOLVED, that this Commission be available to answer questions from and offer guidance to worshipping communities in the Diocese about the shared resources; and be it further RESOLVED, that this Commission seek input from and listen to the concerns of members of worshipping communities throughout the Diocese regarding potential changes to existing liturgical texts or the adoption of alternate liturgical texts; and be it further RESOLVED, that this Commission serve for an initial period of one (1) year, reporting its findings regarding interest in this Diocese for liturgical experimentation and alternative liturgical texts to the 181st Convention of the Diocese of Missouri, seeking the same’s approval to share the reported findings with the TFLPBR by the end of 2020; and be it further RESOLVED, that appointees to this Commission consist of at least three (3) clergy and three (3) laypersons, to be appointed by the Bishop of Missouri, with said appointees offering expertise in the subject of liturgy and representing the gender, age, theological, regional, liturgical, and ethnic diversity of the Diocese of Missouri. RATIONALE: While Prayer Book Revision may not be imminent, it seems as though momentum may be building toward eventual revision. As part of this process, the 79th General Convention of the Episcopal Church in 2018 recommended next steps to begin at a diocesan level, with dioceses establishing liturgical commissions and engaging in the process of liturgical experimentation and resource creation. It also established a Task Force on Liturgical and Prayer Book Revision (TFLPBR) to examine the process of Prayer Book Revision and all the resources created within dioceses. It is important that the TFLPBR hear from the broadest possible range of voices, including even those dioceses that may not be in favor of drastic revision, so that any potential future revision of the Prayer Book reflects the desires of the entire Episcopal Church. The full GC resolution is below:
A068: Plan for the Revision of the Book of Common Prayer Resolved, the House of Deputies concurring, That the 79th General Convention, pursuant to Article X of the Constitution, authorize the ongoing work of liturgical and Prayer Book revision for the future of God’s mission through the Episcopal branch of the Jesus movement. And, that it do so upon the core theological work of loving, liberating, life-giving reconciliation and creation care; and be it further Resolved, that our methodology be one of a dynamic process for discerning common worship, engaging all the baptized, while practicing accountability to The Episcopal Church; and be it further Resolved, That the 79th General Convention create a Task Force on Liturgical and Prayer Book Revision (TFLPBR), the membership of which will be jointly appointed by the Presiding Bishop and the President of the House of Deputies, and will report to the appropriate legislative committee(s) of the 80th General Convention, ensuring that diverse voices of our church are active participants in this liturgical revision by constituting a group with leaders who represent the expertise, gender, age, theology, regional, and ethnic diversity of the church, to include, 10 laity, 10 priests or deacons, and 10 Bishops; and be it further The 180th Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Missouri

Resolution C-180:
Reaffirming and Renewing Resolution G-165 passed in 2004 by the 165th Convention, calling for an Episcopal City Mission Sunday annual observation in congregations Submitted by the Board of ECM BE IT RESOLVED, that this 180th Convention of the Diocese of Missouri reaffirm Resolution G-165, passed in 2004 by the 165th Convention of the Diocese of Missouri, which asked the congregations of the Diocese to observe the Last Sunday after Epiphany each year (or the nearest Sunday that the congregation’s calendar allows) as Episcopal City Mission Sunday to recognize and support Episcopal City Mission’s ministry of providing chaplains and programs to children in the juvenile justice system. RATIONALE: In 2019, Episcopal City Mission is marking its 65th year as an independent corporation providing chaplaincy to children in the juvenile justice system of St. Louis City and County. The Chaplains also provide support, mentoring and guidance to detention center staff. Starting this year, ECM is providing community-based grief and loss programming to court-involved children. Given the importance and unique nature of this ministry, it is proper to reaffirm the resolution passed fifteen years ago.
Resolution G-165, Episcopal City Mission, was passed in 2004 with the following text:
1. BE IT RESOLVED THAT this 165th Convention of the Diocese of Missouri ask the congregations of the Diocese to observe the Last Sunday after Epiphany each year (or the nearest Sunday that the congregation’s calendar allows) as Episcopal City Mission Sunday to recognize and support Episcopal City Mission’s ministry of chaplaincy to children in detention.
RATIONALE
In 2004 Episcopal City Mission is marking its 50th year as an independent corporation providing chaplaincy to children in the juvenile justice system of St. Louis City and County.
In 1894, members of the Episcopal Diocese of Missouri began providing ministry to people confined in public hospitals, the St. Louis City Jail and the St. Louis City Poor House. In 1935 Episcopal City Mission was formed as an independent agency to continue that purpose.
In 1952 the Metropolitan Church Federation reorganized the community services being provided by various church-affiliated agencies. The Diocese of Missouri elected to continue ministering to troubled young people under the auspices of Episcopal City Mission. This ministry originally included chaplaincy at the Meramec Hills School for Girls and the Missouri Hills School for Boys (both now closed).
Fifty years ago, Episcopal City Mission took on its present day function of providing chaplaincy to youth detained by the courts of St. Louis City and County, and since then has been the only agency authorized by the courts to have offices in the detention centers.
ECM is also the only diocesan ministry in this country whose sole mission is to provide for the spiritual needs of troubled children confined to detention centers. No other diocese in this country attempts to do what this diocese has been doing for the past 50 years.
The Board of ECM gives thanks for the 50 years of strong support provided by the diocese and congregations of the Diocese of Missouri and looks forward to continuing this ministry in the future.
The observance of ECM Sunday in 2004 helped us spread the good news of the work being done in the detention centers in the name of the Diocese of Missouri. An annual observance will keep this work in the attention of the Diocese in years to come. To facilitate this observance, Episcopal City Mission will provide congregations with camera-ready bulletin inserts, possible prayers and/or forms for the Prayers of the People and other materials each year appropriate to such an occasion.

Resolution D-180:
Addressing the Epidemic of Addictive Drugs Submitted by General Convention Deputation BE IT RESOLVED, stemming from the call of the 79th General Convention [GC] (Resolution C037: Call to Respond to Opioid Epidemic) for “all dioceses and parishes to respond to the opioid epidemic with training, pastoral care, and liturgy”, that the clergy and lay leaders in the congregations of the Diocese of Missouri provide names and contact information of willing congregants already involved in addressing not only aspects of the opioid epidemic but for ALL addictive drugs (including alcohol, heroin, etc.), for the purposes of sharing information; and be it further RESOLVED, that the Episcopal Recovery Ministries [ERM] be reestablished to include appointments from among the people identified above to develop a central means to access resources from around the diocese, such as speakers, statistics, examples of faith-community action and efforts; suggestions for cooperating with First Responders and others for training to deal with various types of drug episodes; prayers, blessings; basic information on recovery programs and mental health facilities; professionals who specialize in addressing various types of drug addiction and abuse issues; and be it further RESOLVED, that recognizing the purpose and value of prescription opioid medication in treating both acute and/or chronic, intractable pain, the ERM include in its resources regarding addictive drugs information on realities, risks, and barriers to care and effective treatments or cures for people with chronic pain, and be it further RESOLVED, that the reestablished ERM report results of its efforts to the 181st Diocesan Convention in 2020 to curate and create “resources for education, prevention, pastoral care, advocacy and partnering with community organizations” as the Diocese of Missouri seeks to respond to the continuing drug abuse epidemic. RATIONALE: While increased opioid abuse is a significant problem here and throughout the country, in the Diocese of Missouri, alcohol abuse and addiction have been and remain serious drug issues. We need to recognize that substance abuse disorders, access to diagnosis and effective treatment—including appropriate treatments for chronic pain—affect all communities, especially those economically marginalized. Very few congregations in our Diocese will be without members, including clergy, whose families and friends are untouched by the consequences of drug addiction, including splintered households, job loss, criminal action, overdose, and/or death. Expanding the original request of the 79th General Convention Resolution to reflect the needs of this Diocese, we ask that the church respond in ways both practical and pastoral. The full GC resolution is below:
C037: Call to Respond to Opioid Epidemic Resolved, That the 79th General Convention call all dioceses and parishes in The Episcopal Church to respond to the opioid epidemic with training, pastoral care, advocacy, and liturgy; and be it further Resolved, That dioceses and parishes be urged to: partner with First Responders and others in the medical community to host trainings on how to administer naloxone in the event of an overdose; partner with other faith communities and recovery programs in their local contexts to offer pastoral care to those affected by this epidemic; partner with other faith leaders to advocate with local and state government regarding policies and laws to promote healing and wholeness for those affected by this epidemic; and be it further Resolved, That the 79th General Convention direct the Office of Government Relations of The Episcopal Church to advocate for the federal government of the United States to address this as public health crisis, affirming that opioid use disorder is a disease, which needs adequate resources for treatment options; and be it further Resolved, That the 79th General Convention direct the Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music to develop additional liturgical resources to address the needs and concerns of those whose lives have been profoundly affected by this epidemic; and be it further Resolved, That the 79th General Convention concurrently acknowledge the purpose and value of prescription opioid medications in appropriately treating chronic, intractable, pain; or acute pain resulting from curable, short-term The 180th Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Missouri

medical conditions; and affirm the work of the medical community to create established medical guidelines supporting people living with pain; and call all dioceses and parishes in The Episcopal Church to partner with the medical community and health nonprofit organizations to understand the realities, risks, and barriers to access to care and effective treatments and cures for people living with chronic conditions and otherwise untreated or undertreated pain; and be it further Resolved, that the Church recognize that issues of substance use disorders, access to diagnosis and effective treatment, and lack of appropriate treatment for untreated or undertreated pain affect all communities, but especially those marginalized in poverty, racial, gender, and ethnic discrimination, persons with disabilities, and other minority communities; and be it further Resolved, that congregations be urged to include in the Prayers of the People intercessions for patients, families, and communities affected by substance use disorders and also by untreated and undertreated pain and chronic diseases; and be it further Resolved, That the 79th General Convention to authorize the Presiding Officers to create a task force to assist in the curation and creation of resources for education, prevention, pastoral care, recovery, advocacy, and partnering with community organizations to be use by dioceses and parishes for the purpose of responding to the opioid epidemic and substance use disorders; and be it further Resolved, That the General Convention request the Joint Standing Committee on Program, Budget, and Finance to consider a budget allocation of $30,000 for the implementation of this resolution; and be it further Resolved, That the membership of this task force will be appointed by the Presiding Officers and consist of no fewer than 8 nor more than 14 members; and that the task force be made up of bishops, priests, deacons, and laity; and be it further Resolved, That the task force will complete this work within two years.

The Election of the 11th Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Missouri Saturday, Nov. 23, 2019
O God, by your grace you have called us in this Diocese to a goodly fellowship of faith. Guide us as we gather at our Diocesan Convention to elect our next bishop. We pray for a bishop who will walk with us and shepherd us as we live into the vision God has set before us that our faith may increase and our works glorify your Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

1.These Special Rules of Order for the Election of the Bishop of the Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Missouri shall apply during that portion of the 180th Annual Convention in which the assembly is taking up the election of the Bishop of the Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Missouri. Except as these Special Rules provide otherwise, the Rules of Order of Convention shall continue in full force and effect. 2. The election process at Annual Convention shall be presided over by the Bishop, acting as Presiding Officer of the Convention. [Dio. Con. Art. III.4.1] The Convention shall consider nominees of the Search and Nominating Committee and any petition nominees pursuant to procedures for petition nominations approved by the Standing Committee on September 26, 2019 (under the title, Election of the 11th Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Missouri: Notifications, Processes & Procedures); such nominees shall have been subject to appropriate background checks supervised by the Search and Nominating Committee and the Standing Committee, and the results of those background checks shall be reported to Convention. No others shall be eligible for nomination to Convention. 3.Persons entitled to vote with respect to the election of the Bishop shall be those entitled to vote on all other matters coming before Convention. Individuals eligible to vote for the election of the Bishop shall be credentialed upon registering personally at Convention with the Registrar and shall receive from the Registrar distinct identification and unique access to the electronic voting system. Voting for the Bishop will be conducted electronically (with paper ballot backup), on-site and personally. Proxies shall not be allowed. 4.Questions or disputes regarding voting eligibility of Lay Delegates shall be referred to the Secretary of Convention and Committee on Lay Credentials and Admission of New Parishes and Missions for resolution and, if necessary, presented to the Convention for action. When the right of any Cleric to seat, voice or vote is disputed, the Convention itself shall resolve the dispute. [Dio.Con. Art. III.3.5] 5. A final roster of those registered and credentialed to vote for the election of the Bishop shall be presented to Convention for approval. 6. Prior to each ballot, Alternates voting in place of Lay Delegates shall notify the Registrar and be issued unique access to the electronic voting system; at which time the applicable Lay Delegate’s unique access will be disabled. Convention will be informed of the specific Alternates voting and the Lay Delegates they are replacing prior to each ballot. 7. Nominations for Bishop, including those received by petition, shall be presented by the President of the Standing Committee. No second shall be required. Nominating speeches and floor debate shall not be allowed. 8. At the beginning of the election process, the Convention shall accept the final slate of candidates upon a majority vote of the credentialed Lay Delegates (or their authorized Alternates) and credentialed Clergy Delegates. Should the slate of nominees not be approved on the initial vote, floor debate and votes will follow until a final slate of nominees is approved. 9. The names of the candidates for Bishop will be displayed on the electronic ballot in alphabetical order by last name. 10. If a nominee is a Member of Convention, he or she may vote but shall not be present on the Convention floor during the election portion of the Convention. 11. Following the approval of the slate, there shall be a first ballot for the election of Bishop, and successive ballots thereafter as necessary, until the Bishop is elected or Convention is placed in recess. 12. The Presiding Officer of Convention will announce the start of each round of balloting which will remain open for one (1) minute. In the event of an unforeseen problem, the Presiding Officer of Convention may choose to extend the time balloting remains open or may close the electronic voting system and reopen balloting using paper ballots. At the close of balloting, the results will be tabulated and reported to the Presiding Officer and Secretary of Convention. The Secretary will report the results for each ballot as follows: (a) the total number of votes cast in the Clerical Order and the number required for a majority; (b) the total number of votes cast in the Lay Order and the number required for a majority; and (c) the actual number of votes cast in each order for each nominee.

13. If more than one ballot is necessary to achieve a majority in both Orders, a minimum of 30 minutes will separate subsequent ballots. The Presiding Officer will declare Convention in recess for the intervals between ballots, and Delegates and Alternates will be encouraged to reflect, engage in conversation and pray. 14. In each ballot, the Clergy and Lay Delegates shall vote separately by Orders. The concurrent vote, by ballot, of a majority of both the Voting Clergy and Lay Delegates, voting separately, shall be necessary to elect the Bishop. [Dio. Con. Art. II.2] A quorum must be present for each ballot. [Dio. Con. Art. III.5.2] 15.

The election of the 11th Bishop of the Episcopal Church in the Diocese Missouri shall occur: (a) upon a majority of both the Voting Clergy and Lay Delegates, voting separately, for the same candidate on the same ballot; (b) communication of the results to the Secretary of Convention; and (c) announcement of the results to Convention by its Presiding Officer. 18. Immediately following the election, while Convention remains in session, the Presiding Officer of the Convention shall arrange to have the signature of a constitutional majority of the Convention affixed to the testimonial required by Canon III.11.3(a)(3) of the Episcopal Church, attesting to the due and lawful election of the Bishop of the Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Missouri. 19. It is the express intent of this Convention that any election of a nominee to be the Bishop of the Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Missouri is made in reliance upon full, truthful and complete disclosures by that nominee to the Search and Nominating Committee and the Convention. New information deemed credible by the Bishop and Standing Committee that may emerge following the nomination of candidates, during the election process or prior to the ordination and consecration of the Bishop-elect and that may be relevant to the integrity of the candidate or his or her ability to serve will be confidentially discussed with the candidate or Bishop- elect and addressed pastorally and within the context of the Canons of the Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Missouri and The Episcopal Church. 20. Members of Convention shall not have any conversations with members of the media while on the floor of Convention. The Rev.

The Rev. Stacey Fussell
Rector, Episcopal Church of the Ascension Bradford, PA Greetings! I’m Stacey Fussell and I have been so blessed to be a part of this process as you discern who God is calling to be the 11th Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Missouri. Thank you for allowing me to walk with you thus far. I was born on the Naval Air Station at Jacksonville, FL, but I was raised from infancy in New Orleans, LA. That makes me almost a native New Orleanian, especially since I marched for color guard in Mardi Gras parades. Although both my parents were from Southern Baptist backgrounds, I was raised in The Episcopal Church and have the stories of serving as an acolyte to prove it. As a young adult I moved to Houston following a job transfer with Shell Oil Company and added youth group leader and altar guild stories to my repertoire. It was also while I lived in Houston that I discerned a call to ordained ministry. continued on page 40
The Rev. Deon Johnson
Rector, St. Paul’s Episcopal Church Brighton, MI One of the questions I often ask when I meet someone for the first time is, “Where is home-home?” For me, that is an invitation for the person to share the story of where they are from but also to name where they find belonging. For me, home-home is a kitchen table in a little village on the Caribbean island of Barbados where I was born and raised. My faith was formed at that table under the watchful eye of my maternal grandmother, Constance. She taught me how to pray, how to listen with my heart and introduced me to the beauty of worship in the hymns and spirituals she sang throughout my childhood. Her presence and prayers continued to influence me as I immigrated from Barbados to New York at the age of fourteen. Leaving my mother and grandmother behind was perhaps one of the most difficult journeys my older brother and I could ever undertake. Because of their unconditional continued on page 40
The Rev. George Smith
Rector, St. Mark’s Episcopal Church Glen Ellyn, IL To all God’s beloved in the Diocese of Missouri, grace and peace to you from your brother in the neighboring Diocese of Chicago. My name is George Smith. As far as I know, I have no direct relation to a bishop you know as Wayne. I grew up in a suburb of Chicago and have been an Episcopalian my whole life. Although I went to church with my family every Sunday, I wasn’t baptized until I was nine years old. My parents wanted me to be aware of the significance of baptism and remember it. I still do. My mother died when I was a freshman in high school. With this lifechanging event, questions about God and the meaning of life were intensely a part of my adolescence and journey to adulthood. Being part of a church community sustained me and centered me on the virtues of love, honesty, forgiveness, authenticity and integrity. As a teenager and acolyte, the idea of becoming a priest crossed my mind. If the Holy Spirit was whispering in my ear, I wasn’t ready to listen. In college, I majored continued on page 40 The 180th Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Missouri

I received a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of St. Thomas and I went directly to VTS (Virginia Theological Seminary) sponsored from the Diocese of Texas in 1995. I returned to the Houston area to serve three years at a wonderful parish in the refinery town of Baytown. After an 18-month curacy I was thrust into a position as interim priest-in-charge at Trinity and worked with a consultant and parish leaders to guide the parish through an intentional interim and helped the congregation prepare to have a healthy and fruitful relationship and ministry with the next called rector. I left Trinity in 2001 in response to the call to serve as a church planter in a new master-planned community southeast of Houston. I spent nine very happy and rewarding years at St. Catherine’s as we moved from meeting in a storefront through construction of our first physical church building to opening a thriving church preschool. One of the great joys of serving there was being able to share ministry with so many new-to-the-church folks from so many diverse backgrounds – we grew to have 17 different nationalities represented in our church family. It was also while at St. Catherine’s that I was blessed to become a foster-adoptive mother through Child Protective Services. I accepted a call to serve as rector at Ascension in Bradford in the Diocese of Northwest Pennsylvania in 2010. I have been privileged to serve this historic, rural/small town parish during a time of revisioning that has seen growth and new life in the congregation despite ministering in a depopulating region. We have broadened and embraced our understanding

love, and the faithful witness of many others, I have been shaped into the person and priest I am today. I wish every young person could be given the opportunity to be loved and nurtured by the church as I was. Being embraced and welcomed by the members of the Church of the Ascension in Mt. Vernon, NY, they became surrogate parents and grandparents throughout my high school and college experience. It was the faithful witness of a small parish close to Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH, that first recognized and nurtured my call to ordained ministry. During my formation at the General Theological Seminary, my love of worship and prayer, instilled by my grandmother, found a home in the sacristy, the liturgy and the busy streets of the city. Liturgy, for me, is about gathering together to be energized, equipped and engaged to seek and serve Jesus present in our communities, neighborhoods, and cities. I began my ordained life serving as the Associate Rector of Christ Church, Shaker Heights, OH. This vibrant, multicultural and multiethnic community ignited my passion for social justice and inclusion for those on the margins of the church and society. Their steadfast reaching out to the community, giving voice to community needs and incorporating different cultures into worship, was an important part of my formation for the priest that I am today. Currently I serve as Rector of St. Paul’s in Brighton, MI where we have been engaged in transformational ministry for The Rev. George Smith, continued

in Economics and spent a post-grad year in Finland where I worked on a farm and learned Finnish. The Finnish ideals of community and common good were deeply impressed on me. Home from Finland, I worked as an analyst at an investment company in Chicago, earned an MBA from Northwestern and married Cecilia. I worked for several years at an industrial supply company and then for an internet grocery delivery company. As Cecilia and I became parents (Lydia, Frances and Geo), going to church was a priority for us. It was during this time that I began to feel a call to ordained ministry. After a period of discernment, I enrolled at Seabury-Western Seminary in Evanston where a highlight was my clinical pastoral education in the emergency room at Mount Sinai, an inner-city Chicago hospital. This intense experience put seminary theology into incarnational reality. It also sparked my interest in learning Spanish. My first call after seminary was as a curate at Christ Church in Winnetka, Illinois, the Episcopal church of my childhood where I led the youth program, preached, and provided pastoral care. In 2005, I was called to be the rector of St. Mark’s in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, which had suffered a split in membership and faced financial challenges. Over the past thirteen years, St. Mark’s has been my home for ministry where there has been a turnaround in energy, membership, finances and outreach to the community. Among many projects, we have started a preschool, added a service in Spanish, incorporated art exhibits into the life of the church, and raised up leaders for the Diocese of Chicago continued on page 41 The 180th Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Missouri

of what The Episcopal Church ‘should’ look like and have begun new ministries that serve and reach others with God’s love. Ascension is now known in our community as a church where all sorts and conditions of people can find a church home. I find great joy in servant leadership in the church. I am particularly passionate about guiding folks to have an encounter and/or deepen their relationship with Christ. I believe that the Gospel offers “Good News of Great Joy for All People” and am especially passionate to see that good news shared with those who have been for too long excluded from receiving that great joy because of social or economic status; race or nationality; sexual orientation or gender identity; intellectual or physical ability; gender or age. I am committed to helping followers of Jesus discover the joys of thinking and reflecting on their faith in theological terms and then equipping them to bring that theological thought and reflection to bear as we work to bring hope, healing and wholeness to our communities. I am nourished by worshipping in the richness and beauty of the Anglican tradition and delight in sharing that nourishment with others. And I relish the opportunity to help God’s people discern, articulate and manifest the The Rev. Deon Johnson, continued

the last thirteen years. St. Paul’s is located in the heart of downtown, and has a long history of social activism particularly around the inclusion of LGBTQ+ persons, tackling food insecurity, and youth and young adult engagement. The Holy Spirit has continued to bless our willingness to try new things, to let go of those things that hold us back and to embrace a common vision in following Jesus. We successfully raised over $2 million to renovate and expand our 135-year-old building to better suit our growing needs. They have taught me how to be a better person, a better priest and a better parent. My husband Jhovanny Osorio is originally from Mexico and we are proud parents of Lilohalani (10) and Ja’Lon (8) along with our two dogs Bleu and Jules. Jhovanny loves to cook, a passion that I share, and we often experiment with blending our cultural foods while trying new recipes from around the world. We simply love to eat and we love to feed others. Our house is often filled with the joyful sounds of our dogs, kids, godchildren, cousins, and neighbors; together we continue the tradition of inviting everyone to the table. As a family, we love to spend time swimming and relaxing at the The Rev. George Smith, continued

What propels my ministry and desire to serve is The Good News which to me is the love of God, made known in Christ, for every man, woman and child, where no one is left behind or forgotten. A verse of Scripture that I return to again and again for inspiration and direction is, “All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation.” (2nd Corinthians 5:18) This ministry that Paul refers to is to me the daily work of opening doors and hearts. I feel a genuine joy in seeing the faces of everyone I meet, welcome, serve and pray with. While at St. Mark’s, I have been able to put this into practice every Sunday, every day, not only at St. Mark’s but through civic engagement in Glen Ellyn, in the Diocese of Chicago and in places like Nigromante, Mexico where St. Mark’s has had a sister church since 2006. My hobbies include running outdoors in all seasons. I have completed 17 marathons and log about 20 miles a week when not in marathon training mode. Cecilia and I adopted a retired racing greyhound named Quinny who ran 120 races in Florida. Last year, we adopted a companion for Quinny named Bertie, who had never raced due to continued on page 42

vision that God is calling us to live into for the sake of God’s Kingdom in a particular time and place. When asked about hobbies, I’m tempted to say, “I don’t have hobbies, I have teenagers!” In truth, spending time with and enjoying my 2 daughters is the primary joy of my personal life. Christina is almost 17 and is a dedicated volunteer and serves in leadership in Key Club at the local and state level. Catherine is 14 and excels at all things musical and keeps busy singing, dancing and playing several instruments. As a family we enjoy exploring new places, discussing current events and watching and mocking some mind-numbing reality TV. Personally, I am a voracious reader, modest poet and occasional needlecrafter. We all serve as staff to the very spoiled resident cats with whom we live. I ask for your continued prayers as we journey together in this time of discernment and assure you that you faithfully remain in mine.

lake in the summer; or gathered around the table or a bonfire for a hearty meal and conversation. Leadership opportunities in the parish, the community, the diocese as well as the wider church, allow me to feed and serve others in Christ’s name. I currently serve in the Diocese of Michigan on the Standing Committee, Liturgy and Music Commission and as a Deputy to General Convention. I also get to serve as a member of the Task Force for Prayer Book and Liturgical Revision. My training and work as a Liturgical Consultant allows me to connect with people from congregations of all sizes across the Episcopal Church. From large urban program churches, to small rural parishes, I have the honor of inviting God’s people into a place of Christ-centered hospitality, particularly around liturgy and worship spaces. When I am not cooking or spending time with my family, I enjoy photography, hiking, and being an armchair movie critic.

a mis-formed paw. We love these dogs who are gentle and offer continual unconditional love. I also enjoy swimming, hiking and gardening. I love learning languages and have been semi-fluent in French, Finnish, and now speak, read and preach in Spanish. I started playing the guitar a few years ago and enjoy leading preschool chapel with simple songs. With our children now out of the nest, my wife and I are adjusting to having all of us together only at holidays when we binge-watch Netflix series, play games, enjoy meals together and engage in intense conversations about what is happening in our lives, politics, and the wonder and meaning of life.
