With Gratitude
Dear Friends in Christ,
When Dean Greenwell came to Cincinnati, she asked if I would serve as the deacon at Christ Church Cathedral, and for the last several years it has been my privilege to be with you at least twice a month. Every
parish I have served in the past 27 years of diaconal ministry has been an
incredible learning experience, and the Cathedral is no exception. I have both observed and participated in the ministries of Christmas on the River, Interfaith Hospitality Network, the Plumb Line, foot care for homeless folks, and the Native American Council.
