The Rev. Todd SmelserSummer Reflections

Canon Todd Smelser 

  

Dear Friends in Christ,

 

It's hard to believe that it's been three and one-half years since I "officially" retired from full-time ministry. As an Episcopal priest, I am most thankful for our Church Pension Fund, which allows those of us with 30 years of service to retire and pursue other ventures. I am also most thankful to Dean Candler who immediately re-hired me on a part-time basis as Canon Associate for Pastoral Care. In this new role I have been able to continue the "people" work of ministry, including visitation, counseling, providing sacramental care in retirement facilities and with grieving families, and of course sharing in the presiding and preaching duties at the Cathedral on Sundays and Wednesdays. Read more.
