Prior to being called as the Rector of St. Matthew’s in Austin, I have served in three other dioceses and this diocese for over 10 years. My participation on the Episcopal Health Foundation Board and as a mentor for our Curate Cohorts has deepened my understanding of the gifts and challenges within the church, particularly as it engages with the world around us. I would be honored to represent the Diocese of Texas at General Convention, as we seek to govern the broader church to strengthen our people to reach out to the world with love.
