Michael Battle and Stephen Edmondson Accept Calls to New Positions The Rev. Dr. Michael Battle, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, recently accepted a call to be Provost and Canon Theologian at the Cathedral Center for the Diocese of Los Angeles. He will work with the Rt. Rev. Jon Bruno, VTS ‘77, Bishop of the Diocese of Los Angeles. During his time at Virginia Seminary, Dr. Battle made signifi cant contributions to the work of the VTS racial and ethnic diversity initiative, and his work on national and international committees and consultations has helped to strengthen the Seminary’s ties with other dioceses and provinces of the Anglican Communion. Dr. Battle and his family moved to California in July. The Rev. Dr. Stephen Edmondson, Associate Professor of Church History, is the new rector of St. Thomas Church, McLean, Virginia. He will teach church history at VTS in the fall of the 2007-08 academic year. “Ironically,” Dr. Edmondson says, “my work in teaching church history has drawn from me a desire to be more involved in the active life of the ministry of the Church. I feel a deep commitment to exploring and clarifying the place of intellectual and theological ministry in the life of the Church outside of academic institutions.” Dr. Edmondson will serve as a VTS fi eld education supervisor and will teach as an adjunct professor as the need arises and his time permits. 82 VIRGINIA SEMINARY JOURNAL AUGUST 2007
