The Very Rev. Kurt H. Dunkle will be the guest preacher for both the 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. services this Sunday, Sept. 12.
Dunkle is the 13th Dean and President of the General Theological Seminary of The Episcopal Church. General Seminary is the original seminary of The Episcopal Church founded in 1817 and is also the oldest Seminary in the Anglican Communion.
During his eight-year tenure, he took the seminary from a multi-million dollar annual deficit to balanced and surplus budgets, reorganized the faculty, oversaw successful reaccreditation, developed two new degree programs (the first new degree programs in 25 years), and envisioned a new way to prepare seminarians for real-life service in their final year, The Wisdom Year. He retired earlier this year.
