St. Thomas’ Parish is currently between rectors. Our previous rector, the Rev. Lisa Ahuja, has accepted a new call to serve as Canon for Transition Ministry and the East Hudson Region in the Episcopal Diocese of New York. With guidance from experts on staff at the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, the wardens and vestry are currently preparing to receive applications from interested clergy. We will update this page with relevant information to keep the congregation and wider community up to date about where we are in the process.
On Nov. 16, the Rev. Anna Olson, Canon for Faith, Leadership and Collaboration at the Diocese of Washington, visited St. Thomas’ to preach and to share an overview of the clergy leadership transition process as it is currently managed here. Click here to view the slides from her presentation.
We joyfully announce that the Rev. Linda Kaufman will serve as our primary supply clergy during our transition period. She will celebrate and preach at the majority of our worship services for the next several months and be available for pastoral care needs.
The wardens are grateful for Linda’s willingness to step up into this role and very much look forward to working with her.
Save the date! On Sunday, November 16, the Rev. Anna Olson, who advises parishes in our diocese going through leadership transitions, will join us to preach and then to give a presentation over coffee hour. She has been extremely helpful already to our wardens as we prepare to enter this period, and we look forward to her sharing more about the search and transition processes with the entire community.
