Curate Linzi Stahlecker to Serve as Deacon This Sunday and Preach on January 30
Last October the cathedral was thrilled to announce the appointment of Linzi Stahlecker as curate. (A curacy is a sort of internship for newly-ordained clergy.) She is now The Rev. Linzi Stahlecker, having been ordained to the transitional diaconate just a few weeks ago. God willing and the people consenting, she will be ordained to the priesthood this coming June. Rev. Stahlecker will serve on the altar as a deacon this coming Sunday, the first official day of her new position. Welcome Linzi!
It was announced previously that Rabbi Daniel Weiner of Temple De Hirsch Sinai would offer a guest sermon at Saint Mark's on January 30. Rabbi Weiner's guest sermon has now been postponed to a later date, and Rev. Stahlecker will preach at all morning services that Sunday instead.
