A Note from the Bishop 

Convention 2020 Introduction 

The theme for the 152nd Diocesan 

Convention, “Becoming Better 

Disciples for Jesus” (John 13:35) 

confirms with Jesus’ command to 

his followers, “By this everyone 

will know that you are my 

disciples, if you love one another”. 

This year’s convention would 

be noted for two identifiable 

characteristics (1) it will be a oneday 

format, and (2) it is a parish/ 

convocation-based event hosted 

by the Middle Convocation and 

Christ Church, Stevensville. 

Christ Church could rightly be 

designated as the ‘mother parish’ 

of the diocese. It was the first 

Christian church established in 

the state of Maryland in 1631. 

On behalf of the diocese, we 

extend sincere appreciation to 

our host convocation/parish for 

their generosity and hospitality. 

Convention will hear from 

two keynote speakers who 

will address two crucial areas 

that the Episcopal Church has 

been paying much attention 

to in recent times. These two 

initiatives are embodied in 

PAROUISA, that is Parousia VI 

– Clergy Education and Parousia 

X – Stewardship, Evangelism, 

Discipleship and Spirituality 

(S*E*D*S). The Reverend Dr. 

John Lewis, Director of the Iona 

Collaborative, Seminary of the 

Southwest, Austin, Texas, will 

address bi-vocational clergy 

formation through a distance 

learning model administered 

through the seminary. And, 

Ms. Mary Parmer, Director of 

the Invite Welcome Connect 

Program of the Beecken Institute, 

School of Theology, University of 

the South, Sewanee, Tennessee 

will address evangelism and 

discipleship. Mary’s presentation 

will be a precursor to our diocesan 

Fall Mission Summit that she will 

be leading on September 25 & 26 

at St. Alban’s Parish, Salisbury and 

Holy Trinity, Oxford respectively. 

Our 152nd Diocesan Convention 

is shaping up to be a pioneering 

event in the life of God’s Church 

on the Eastern shore. We are 

awaiting with joyful expectation 

where the Spirit is leading God’s 

Church. Come with open hearts, 

minds, and souls to be inspired 

by the Spirit’s power! Let us all 

across the diocese commit to the 

holy commission as ambassadors 

and agents of redemption, change 

and transformation. “When 

you change the way you look at 

things, the things you look at 

change” (Dr. Wayne Dyer).

In the Christian context a disciple is a person who has 

decided to commit to be a lifelong follower of Jesus Christ, 

and whose life and actions are to be shaped by Jesus’ 

teachings and values. Discipleship may also be summarized 

as Christian life and living, Christian formation or Christian 

Spirituality – the effect of faith on head, mind and heart of a 

follower of Jesus Monday to Sunday. 

Every baptized Christian immersed in the life 

of Jesus is instantaneously through baptism a 

disciple of our Lord and Savior and lives in what 

St. Paul describes in his Epistle to the Romans 

a life embodied in the reality of his suffering, 

death, resurrection and new life (6: 1-4). This 

characterization applies to baptized infants as 

well as mature adults. 

I wish to offer a very famous quotation from 

the 20th century German martyr Dietrich 

Bonhoeffer which is found in his famous book: 

The Cost of Discipleship. It goes like this: 

“Christianity without discipleship is Christianity 

without Christ.” He bemoaned the fact that 

while people are ready to claim that they trust 

in God, they still fail to follow Jesus. Bonhoeffer 

also waxed eloquent on the dangers of what he 

called “cheap grace”. He said: “Cheap grace is the 

mortal enemy of the church.” 

There is no question in my mind that the 

primacy of discipleship in the Christian religion 

is critical for the unity of the Church, and for the 

embodiment of the high priestly prayer of Jesus 

that we may all be one. 

The ecumenism of discipleship in following 

Jesus is far more important than the ecumenism 

of churches and religious groupings. It has been 

rightly said that while churches are looking for 

decisions, Jesus is looking for disciples. 

Others have said that if a church’s strategy is 

not rooted and grounded in making disciples, 

the church has abandoned the mission that was 

given to it by Jesus. We need to respond more 

fervently to the invitation of Jesus to follow Him 

way beyond the regular habit of repeating the 

Lord’s Prayer. Let me explore briefly what this 

matter of discipleship is all about. 

Love defined as agape, in the Greek, is the virtue 

Jesus advocated by living it out or incarnating it 

in the very essence of his life on earth. Christ’s 

disciples, therefore, are themselves called to 

embody the love Jesus modeled. 

Discipleship is a way of life that spells out one’s 

structure of allegiance, whether it is political, 

ideological, spiritual, ethical, intellectual, or 

otherwise. It essentially requires a relentless 

willingness to learn, to embrace, to follow, and to 

represent that which is most meaningful in one’s 

life. It generates varying levels of responsiveness 

both from those within its range as well as those 

without. Accordingly, it is possible to say that 

discipleship has the power to ascend to, and 

assume, the highest levels of human life, and 

conduct, and dignity, and devotion; while, at 

the same time, it can plunge into an inexorable 

descent to the lowest levels of human despair, 

destruction, and decay. Discipleship can be just 

as much the engine of terrorism as it can be 

the energy for spiritual vitality, moral purity, or 

human ascendancy. A disciple is an avid learner,

a radical follower, an embodied symbol, and a 

committed agent or representative. It all depends 

on the nature of the leader, and direction of the 

movement. 

with it an option, “if any want to become my 

followers...” (Matthew 16: 24). By making that 

choice we must accept the call to pursue this 

walk. 

Convention’s Guest Presenters 

Jesus of Nazareth raised the level of discipleship 

to a very high level. He was obviously very careful 

in choosing his followers; and this distinguished 

him from the scenario of John the Baptist and 

his disciples. The main distinction was that 

whereas John’s disciples chose to follow him of 

their own volition, Jesus specifically chose his 

own, and invited them to follow him. 

What made life even more interesting was that 

the disciples who first joined the Jesus movement 

at the invitation of Jesus, then went after other 

recruits. So there emerged a dedicated band 

of followers over time; Matthew, Nathaniel, 

Phillip, James, John, Martha, Mary, Andrew, 

and so forth. 

In the Acts of the Apostles there is abundant 

evidence of the diverse range of discipleship in 

the Apostolic community, and especially with 

respect to the way in which they were led by the 

Holy Spirit in bearing witness to the meaning 

and message of the Jesus Story, particularly 

after the Pentecost event. There is heightened 

evidence in the Acts of the Apostles that they 

understood discipleship to be inextricably 

linked with the sacred obligation to exercise 

their missionary zeal. Those who followed Jesus 

were known to be members of the Way, much 

more so than members of the Church as such. 

My beloved, discipleship has an option, “if any 

want to become my followers, let them deny 

themselves and take up their cross…” (Matthew 

16: 24-26). We need to be prepared to give up 

something as a disciple of Christ Jesus. 

It is the vocation of our diocese to continue to 

explore, and through opportunity effect, the 

fundamental tenets of discipleship within the 

family. One of those fundamentals is to ‘love 

one another.’ This is embedded in our diocesan 

theme developed and approved by the 149th 

and 150th Diocesan Conventions: 

WELCOME ALL* SHARE JESUS’ LOVE * 

SERVE THE WORLD. 

And it is by this tenet that we enter into 

Convention with a commitment toward 

“Becoming Better Disciples of Jesus” 

The Rev. John Lewis, DPhil, is Director of the 

Iona Center and Lecturer in New Testament 

and Spirituality. He oversees many of the 

seminary’s non-degree programs, including 

the Iona Collaborative, which trains and forms 

clergy and licensed lay leaders in their local 

diocesan settings. John joined the seminary 

faculty and staff in 2016 after serving as an adjunct 

instructor since 2003. His primary interest is 

helping Christians and their communities use 

scripture to practice vocational discernment 

and discipleship in daily life. John also serves 

as co-director of St. Benedict’s Workshop, a 

non-profit ministry for Christian formation 

he founded in 2001 with St. Mark’s Episcopal 

Church, San Antonio, where he continues to 

teach, preach, and worship. He also serves the 

Diocese of West Texas as Dean of Examining 

Chaplains. Lewis is the author of Looking for 

Life: The Role of “Theo-Ethical” Reasoning in 

Paul’s Religion, T&T Clark (JSNTS) 2005. 

Born and raised in the deep South, Mary 

Parmer is a congregational development 

consultant/coach, speaker, and retreat leader 

living in Sewanee, Tennessee. She serves as 

Director of INVITE WELCOME CONNECT, 

a transformational ministry of evangelism, 

hospitality and belonging now housed at the 

Beecken Center, School of Theology, University 

of the South. Mary is the past Director of the 

Gathering of Leaders, a national leadership 

gathering of young Episcopal clergy. Mary 

has served as a Lay Deputy to the the past four 

General Conventions of The Episcopal Church, 

and she currently serves on the Task Force on 

Clergy Leadership Formation in Small Churches 

(GC 2015-A045). Mary holds a degree in 

Religious Studies from St. Edwards University 

in Austin and formerly served as Director of 

Adult Ministries & Evangelism, St. Stephen’s, 

Beaumont. She has two grown children and six 

young grandchildren, builds stone labyrinths, 

and spends her time away from the office hiking 

and reading memoirs. 

Also, a disciple walks the way of perfection, 

Jesus refers to it as ‘going the extra mile or 

“turning the other cheek” (Matthew 5: 38-42).

The Bishop’s Institute 

by Dee Rinehart 

“For everything there is a season, and a time 

for every matter under heaven… God has put a 

sense of past and future into their minds.” 

With those familiar words 

from Ecclesiastes 3:1-7,11a, the 

Proclamation of the Word began on 

January 4th during a Celebration 

Eucharist, one that launched the 

Bishop’s Institute and a new ministry 

for St. Paul’s Spring Hill, now the St. 

Paul’s Worship Center. 

The Bishop’s Institute arises from 

Bishop Marray’s vision for the 

Diocese of Easton in his “Parousia.” 

Its call is “To provide all the faithful 

saints of the Diocese of Easton 

training and formation needed to 

become intentional disciples and 

effective evangelists sharing Jesus’ 

love.” The Institute will be housed at 

St. Paul’s Worship Center, Hebron 

with two satellite sites: St. Stephen’s, 

Earleville and Bray House, Easton. 

A training site in each Convocation 

will allow training sessions closer to 

home for the people of our Diocese. 

Course offerings for 2020 include 

training for discernment committee 

leaders, identification of spiritual 

gifts, and annual training for 

licensed lay ministries, new lay 

ministers and those who wish to 

renew their licenses. As the Institute 

opens its doors, our vision is to 

provide spaces and resources for 

varied formation offerings as needs 

arise in the diocese. In the spring, 

we will offer the first training for 

Worship Leaders, those who are 

licensed to read the Daily Office. In 

early autumn, we will offer training 

for lay Eucharistic ministers and 

Eucharistic Visitors. 

We acknowledge the people of St. 

Paul’s, Spring Hill, whose vision and 

generosity has provided a home for 

both the Bishop’s Institute and the 

St. Paul’s Worship Center. After a 

year of self-study and discernment 

they determined that their site 

and resources should be a place 

which would carry on the heritage 

established by their parish and form 

disciples for Jesus Christ in the 

Diocese of Easton, “…to equip the 

saints for ministry…,“ Ephesians 

4:12. 

The Bishop’s Institute Launch was 

marked by the welcoming key 

leadership: 

The Reverend Dr. Daniel Dunlap 

was installed as Canon Theologian of 

the Diocese of Easton. The Reverend 

Canon Dunlap will supervise the 

theology of the Bishop’s Institute and 

those on an ordination track through 

the Bishop’s Institute. 

There followed the commissioning 

of the Officers and Advisory Board 

Members of the Bishop’s Institute. 

The Executive Committee of the 

Bishop’s Institute is comprised of Dee 

Rinehart, Director; Laura McCarthy, 

Deacon Postulant, Associate Director; 

the Rev. Laura Dorsey, Vicar, St. 

Paul’s Worship Center; and the Rev. 

Dr. Barbara Anne Fisher, Missioner: 

Church Beyond the Walls/Diocesan 

Liaison for Creative Ministry. 

The Bishop’s Institute Board of 

Directors are the Rev. Canon Dr. 

Daniel Dunlap, Canon Theologian; 

the Very Rev. Michael Moyer, 

Chair, Commission on Ministry; 

the Rev. Laura Dorsey, Vicar, St. 

Paul’s Worship Center; the Rev. Dr. 

Nicholas Sichangi, Rector Trinity- 

Elkton and St. Stephen’s-Earleville; 

Hank Phillips, Treasurer; Chris 

Sabas, Deacon Postulant; Mrs. 

Billie Jo Russell, Senior Warden and 

Representative, St. Stephen’s; and Mr. 

Eric Broussard, Representative, St. 

Stephen’s.

The Mission of God: 

The Foundation of Parousia 

by the Rt. Rev. Santosh Marray, Bishop 

As people of Easter Faith two pivotal questions 

persist: What does God expect from us? What do we 

expect from God? Just as God continues to snatch 

life out of the jaws of our death-making cultures and 

conditions, so too does God continue to demand of us 

that unconditional response and resolve to embrace 

God’s Mission, Christ’s Message, and the Spirit’s 

Movement. For as many as are led forth by the Spirit 

of God, they indeed are the children and missionaries 

of God. Accordingly, the children of God are called 

“Disciples”. Discipleship demands intentional loyalty 

and radical obedience, just as much as it demands 

total commitment and unwavering consistency. This 

is particularly true for us Anglicans as Christians. 

May we never forget what is our identifying mark 

as Anglicans. We are not Anglicans who happen to 

be Christians. Rather, we are Christians who happen 

to be Anglican. As quiet as it is sometimes kept, 

let us never forget that the God of the Anglicans is 

not an Anglican! Nevertheless, as Anglicans, we are 

committed by our Baptism to live out the marks of 

our incorporation into Christ and His Church. We are 

sustained by the Mission of Christ, and the Mission of 

Christ provides for us our Mandate. 

Parousia is God’s vision for a diocese committed to 

defeat a fatalistic mentality which constantly promoted 

a scenario of ‘survival mentality’. It is a message of 

hope and new vitality and inordinate viability because 

God has chosen this path for God’s church on the 

eastern shore. We rejoice at the thought that Jesus 

would be so generous and self-giving of his time to 

be bothered or concerned with this small diocese and 

its future. However, this is my truthful conviction and 

anticipation that gives me much reason to wake up 

every morning with unspeakable joy in my soul and 

dancing on my feet. 

In my fifteen years as an active bishop ten of which 

were in the House of Bishops of this church, I have 

sat through many presentations and discussions 

articulating the fears and apprehensions of my 

fellow bishops. One prevailing refrain was always 

the genuine awareness that the church has to renew 

and reinvigorate itself or it would have abrogated 

its responsibility to God. This is an option I am not 

prepared to lead this diocese into or to embrace. 

The components in Parousia aren’t isolated in way, 

form or shape, rather they are the concerns shared 

by bishops across the church. What we are about in 

this church isn’t just to boldly name the challenges 

and fears, but to create a platform that will address 

them and articulate a course of action to remedy the 

problems so the church in the near future could be 

better poised to live robustly into the mission of God 

in its neighborhood. 

Parousia isn’t a definitive plan, it is a roadmap; it’s a 

permission, not a prescription, that is most likely to 

remain in its draft state because Jesus continues to 

speak to this church. It would be presumptuous of 

us to ever conceive that the Spirit has spoken God’s 

final word to us. Certainly, as people of faith we 

should have the faith to believe that over the ensuing 

life of Parousia God’s Spirit will give us new words or 

build upon those already spoken. This is my faith and 

anticipation in the love of our God of charity and new 

beginning. Jesus keeps making all things new and 

keeps redeeming all things old and trusted. May the 

Spirit of God continue to guide, protect and sustain 

this church, the Diocese of Easton.

The question posed 

is my vision of the 

church: It can only 

be meaningful to the 

world when it practices 

the principle that all 

are welcome and equal 

at the table of God. 

Superficial differences 

have no bearing when 

we worship. Our efforts are invalid if it is 

otherwise. 

I’m a 74 year old retired man who 

cherishes his wife and family. My time is 

devoted to my church community at St. 

Alban’s in the Southern Convocation, my 

family of three children and five grands, 

my community at large, and to myself as I 

seek to remain healthy in spirit, mind and 

muscle. 

Diocesan Council At-Large, Clergy -

Standing Committee Continued 

Province 3 Synod Continued 

My desire is to fully and actively serve as 

a member of the Standing Committee, 

which in the absence of the Bishop is the 

ecclesiastical authority of the diocese. 

While we as a diocese have made great 

strides under the leadership of our current 

Bishop, it will be important to continue 

to prayerfully discern and dialogue those 

issues before us as the people of God and 

those issues which will be in our future. 

Though the Church is in the midst of 

great change and attendance at Christian 

worship is significantly less than previous 

generations, I believe the Church is best 

understood as “the Church in the world,” 

active in ministry, mission, social justice 

and bringing the Good News of God in 

Christ beyond our traditional structures 

and settings. I am a proud member of 

“Episcopal Branch of the Jesus Movement” 

and would be honored to have your 

support.

The Reverend Canon 

Bernie Schroeder was 

called to be Priestin-Charge 

of Christ 

Church Cambridge 

on Easter Day, 2018. 

Before that, Father 

Bernie served as an 

Intern and Deacon at 

two yoked churches 

in the Northern Neck of Virginia, Trinity 

and St. Mary’s Whitechapel, from July 

2013 through December 2014. He then 

served as Interim Rector at St. Patrick’s, 

Falls church, Virginia from February 2015

2,2014 by The Rt. Rev. Shannon Johnston, 

Bishop of Virginia, at Grace Episcopal 

Church in Alexandria, Virginia. He was 

ordained to the priesthood on February 

about social justice and mission. My vision 

of the church is that it is the love of Christ 

embodied in open doors, open hearts and 

hands opened in service to those in need, 

nourishing all with the bread of life and 

the cup of salvation.

Province 3 Synod Rep, Lay - Jane Morgan 

I live in Salisbury and 

worship at St. Paul’s, 

Vienna and St. Mary’s, 

Tyaskin. That puts 

me and my husband 

The Rev. Dennis 

Morgan in both the 

Middle and Southern 

Convocations. I share 

with others in our 

small congregations the ministries of Lay 

Eucharistic Minister and Visitor, Altar 

Guild, coffee hour prep, Community 

outreach and bulletin proofreading and 

stapling. 

It is important that we in our parishes 

do not become isolated. To that end, 

I have been a volunteer receptionist at 

Bray House in Easton for over ten years, 

have served on Diocesan Council, Trinity 

Cathedral Chapter, Hillsboro Retreat 

House Advisory Circle, Province 3 

Synod Representative, and as a General 

Convention Deputy. 

The Province, the link between The 

Episcopal Church and the dioceses, 

does much to prepare us for General 

Convention. Although I am not running 

for General Convention, I remain a deputy 

until the beginning gavel of GC 2021. 

Keeping abreast of issues is especially 

important since the next GC is the 

summer of 2021 in Baltimore. 

My vision for the church is being a 

place or opportunity to explore our 

relationship with our Lord Jesus. This 

takes many forms, some which we may 

not have discovered yet. Therefore, we 

must recognize that previous models for 

the church may no longer work, and we 

should be open to the leading of the Holy 

Spirit to help us discern a spiritual balance 

between the “old” and the newly revealed. 

Province 3 Synod Rep, Lay - Kathy Wise 

As a member of 

Great Choptank 

Parish,Christ Episcopal 

Church, Cambridge, 

in the Middle 

Convocation, I have 

served in many roles 

– both in my own 

church and in positions in the Diocese 

of Easton. I have loved opportunities to 

be a Eucharistic Minister and Worship 

Leader, a member of a shared-leadership 

Bible Study group, a delegate to Diocesan 

Convention, a Vestry member, Senior 

Warden, and part of our parish Search 

Committees. In the Diocese, I have been 

a Deputy to four, and an alternate to 

two General Conventions, served on the 

Standing Committee, the Commission 

on Ministry, the Youth Task Force, as 

a Consultant to churches for Mutual 

Ministry Reviews and Search Committees, 

and most recently as the Co-Chair of the 

Transition Committee for the election of 

Bishop Marray. 

I have been a clinical social worker for over 

50 years, working as a family therapist, 

and before retiring, as the program 

administrator for home visiting and school 

based heath prevention programs. After 

being a widow for 16 years, I remarried 

eleven years ago, and my husband, Doug 

Ridley, and I are enjoying sharing family 

events with children, grandchildren and 

great grandchildren, travel opportunities, 

and participating together in church and 

community activities. 

As the chair of our Stewardship 

Committee, I have been inviting 

parishioners to share each Sunday what 

they celebrate about our church, and about 

where they see God at work in our life 

together. I believe that as we recognize 

and practice sharing with one another at 

church where God is at work in our lives, 

we become more comfortable sharing our 

faith stories beyond the church walls. My 

vision for the Church and for the Diocese 

is to see growing opportunities at the 

Diocesan level, and within and between 

our individual churches, for equipping our 

members to become more comfortable 

and more skilled at sharing their faith 

stories with one another. As we learn to do 

this with fellow believers, we will become 

better able to share our stories of Jesus’ 

love and grace in our families, in our work 

places, and in the communities where 

we live, being light and salt throughout 

the Shore. Caring for the business of our 

churches and the Diocese is important; 

“equipping the saints” is essential! 

Province 3 Synod Rep, Lay - Tim Strack 

I am a member 

of Christ Church 

Denton who serves as 

a Jr. Warden, Vestry 

Member, Morning 

Prayer Worship Leader, 

and as a Eucharistic 

Minister. I served as a 

Delegate to Convention 

in 2018, 2019, and 

2020 and as an Alternate in 2017. I actively 

volunteer to help update the Diocesan 

website. I enjoy being involved in my 

community. At Christ Church Denton I 

started a monthly Game Night, open to the 

public, where families and individuals can 

come play board games. 

I grew up on Kent Island and now live in 

Denton with my husband, Alex, and our 

9 pets: 2 horses, 4 potbelly pigs, 2 dogs, 

and 1 cat. I work full-time in Information 

Security for a Big Data company. I began 

working in Information Security in 2007 

but started in the greater Information 

Technology industry in 2000. 

It would be an honor to serve my Diocese 

at the Province 3 Synod. 

What is your vision for the church? In 

short, and in the words of our Presiding 

Bishop, to be “The Episcopal Branch of 

the Jesus Movement”. I see a world around 

us with many challenges: aggression 

towards our neighbors instead of love, 

a mental health crisis, gun violence, an 

opioid epidemic, and so much more. My 

vision for the church is to be an outreach 

church…to actively work in whatever 

ways we can to heal this world while also 

spreading the good news of Jesus Christ. 

We must work to bring people back to a 

way of love instead of aggression. A way 

of compassion for those who need help 

instead of pushing them away or forgetting 

about them. To get outside the physical 

church and heal this world as “The 

Episcopal Branch of the Jesus Movement”.

Baltimore to Ridgely, 

Caroline County, 

August, 1989. Peggy 

& I were married 

at Christ Church, 

Denton, December, 

1991. Our son, Ely 

(“Eli”), was born 

at Easton Hospital, 

December, 1993. Ely was baptized, raised, 

and confirmed at Christ Church. 

And next month, I am pleased to say that 

I will begin my 12th year at Queen Anne’s 

County Library, Centreville, where I work 

at the circulation desk. 

In 28-1/2 years at Christ Church, I have 

served in many capacities, on Vestry, in 

the choir, as an EM, a lector, a Eucharistic 

Visitor, a Worship Leader, a delegate to 

Diocesan Convention, with the county 

jail ministry, on the annual community 

Thanksgiving dinner steering committee, 

and as Senior Warden. 

My diocesan service has included

inclusion, hospitality, and service, loving 

as God loves, mutual accountability for 

all, respectful and well-ordered debate,

quiet confidence in the myriad gifts of 

one another, as well as in the gift both 

to ourselves and to the world that is the 

Episcopal Church, small but mighty, where 

Christ is proclaimed by word and deed, 

and all are welcome! 


John Phillips 

I was born in Salisbury, 

MD into the St. 

Peter’s family as a 

cradle Episcopalian 

where I was baptised, 

confirmed, and 

married. I am 

the father of two 

adult sons and a 

grandfather to one 

large granddog. My formal education was 

at the McDonogh School, the University 

of Richmond and the Sorbonne in Paris. 

Returning to the states after a year and a 

half abroad I taught school for two years 

in Portsmouth, VA. Then returned to 

Salisbury where I had a career for 43 years 

in real estate sales. Currently I am semiretired 

and manage a few rentals. 

Upon returning to St. Peters and 

immersing myself in parish life my 

faith and christian walk were nurtured, 

grew, and continue to grow through the 

many roles in which I serve and enjoy 

and through my diocesan work. I have 

headed the youth groups, been involved 

with our former boy scout troop, taught 

confirmation classes, ushered, served on 

the vestry and was the registrar. I am a 

devoted member of our choir, a licensed 

eucharistic minister, lay reader, and 

eucharistic visitor. I’ve started a small 

interdenominational bible study group 

and serve on the Green Hill Church 

preservation\restoration committee. I am 

currently a delegate to the convention 

from my parish (having served in that 

capacity and as an alternate variety of 

times). I have been on the diocesan council 

previously both as a southern convocation 

and at-large representative. 

Serving this diocese has been a privilege, 

a tremendous learning experience, and a 

faith builder. The Bishop has challenged 

us to be a prayer-centered church and a 

mission shaped diocese. This work has 

begun and is exciting though daunting 

in some ways. However, through faith, 

a commitment to prayer, worship, and 

outreach, we can grow and strengthen our 

diocese, but we must do it together. As 

children of God and with the Holy Spirit 

guiding us we will be sharing Christ’s 

gospel and following in Jesus’ footsteps 

though let us realize it will take time and 

consistency. 


Charlotte “Peaches” Meyer 

I envision a Church 

that empowers and 

supports its clergy 

and members to see 

themselves as integral 

to the success of the 

Jesus Movement. We 

are all, collectively, the 

solution to healing a 

hurting world, caring 

for God’s Creation, strengthening all 

levels of Church formation, and attracting 

and stewarding all people who seek a 

loving and safe place to begin anew in an 

affirming environment. 

Born, raised, and christened in Trappe, 

I am a confirmed member of St. Paul’s 

Church, White Marsh Parish. As I 

deepened my relationship with the Church 

in the last 10 years, I’ve served as St. Paul’s 

Senior Warden, Treasurer, and Registrar. I 

also enjoy serving as Eucharistic Minister, 

Reader and Usher. At the Diocesan level, 

I am the Chair for the Diocesan Fund for 

Church Initiatives (middle convocation 

representative since 2012). I serve as your 

United Thank Offering Co-Coordinator 

with Mary Helen Atwood (also since 

2012). I’ve been privileged to serve as 

your ECW Representative at Province III 

Synod gatherings, ECW Annual Meetings 

and enjoyed attending the last three 

Triennials at General Convention. And, 

if elected, I’m looking forward to serving 

as a Chapter Member at Large for Trinity 

Cathedral. 

My background includes more than 34 

years as a fund raising professional for 

Ocean Conservancy, a national nonprofit 

in Washington, DC that is dedicated 

to protecting our ocean for future 

generations. What makes that career 

meaningful to me is connecting people 

to what they love and empowering them 

to do more than they ever imagined 

they could. I believe the pathway for 

fostering those connections is grounded in 

authenticity, gratitude, and a willingness to 

listen and learn. 

I am fascinated by and drawn to the 

organizational structure and governance 

of our National Episcopal Church and 

have yearned for an opportunity to 

participate in General Convention. 

Listening to, watching, and learning 

from the experiences and commitment 

of previous Clergy Representatives and 

Lay Deputies is moving and exciting. My 

desire to participate in this governmental 

process where important bodies of work 

shape our church formation and spiritual 

life has only deepened with time. If 

elected as one of your General Convention 

Deputies, I will fully engage in all aspects 

of the General Convention, look for ways 

to bring our Diocesan successes to others 

as roadmaps for positive change, listen for 

opportunities to bring home the gifts of 

new ideas and solutions to the challenges 

we face here at home. Thank you for your 

consideration! 


Mary Grace “MG” Brosius 

I’ve been a member of 

Emmanuel Church, 

Chester Parish for 

over a year, where I 

sing in the choir. I’m a 

member of the Chester 

River Chorale, and 

two of its sub-groups, 

which keeps me very 

busy, so I’ve not yet 

taken on any further responsibilities at 

Emmanuel. I moved from Baltimore to 

the Shore, when I reconnected with – and 

married – my first “boyfriend,” Jack in late 

2007. We have two dogs – and a dozen 

kayaks of various types, some of which I 

paddle when the weather’s nice. Jack, a 

member of the 1972 U.S. Olympic team, 

now finds himself coaching 3 Special 

Olympics sports: power lifting, swimming 

and, you guessed it, kayaking! 

I transferred to Emmanuel from St. Paul, 

Kent, which was my parish for the first 10 

years following my move to Chestertown. 

While at St. Paul’s, I sang in the choir and 

served as Eucharistic Minister, Reader, 

Acolyte(!), Vestry member, Junior Warden 

– and Delegate to Diocesan Convention 

four times. 

Before my “big move” across the Bay, I was 

a member for 25+ years at the Church of 

the Messiah, Baltimore, where I served on 

Vestry a total of 12 years, and as Delegate 

to Diocesan Convention – as well as the 

liturgical assistant positions listed above. 

I have served on six Diocese of Maryland 

Cursillo weekend teams (and a 7th 

while living here, in 2010), as well as on 

Secretariat. 

Most people here know me as a recentlyretired 

Dental Assistant (which position 

was a God-sent 10-year opportunity to 

learn totally new skills!). I still see myself, 

however, as the Parish Administrator 

who, for 20 years, supported and worked 

with the Dean of the Cathedral of the 

Incarnation as it grew from near-mission 

status to a thriving parish. The Cathedral 

was dedicated to spreading the Word 

of God through hands-on outreach – 

including welcoming and incorporating 

immigrants into the life and leadership 

of the community, rehabbing dilapidated 

houses through Sandtown Habitat for 

Humanity (West Baltimore), and creating 

The Children’s Peace Center (where at-risk 

city youth learned nonviolent ways to deal 

with frustration and anger). 

My vision for the church? I’m not sure 

I have one. I see more a vision OF the 

church – multicultural, multigenerational, 

multilingual, all-inclusive. Each person 

[he/she/they] is an integral part of the 

awesome diversity of The Episcopal 

Church. The more formal music which 

I’ve loved for so many years exists side-byside 

with Hispanic, African, and Native 

American chants and harmonies, as well as 

theologically-sound praise music. There 

are children who feel safe and comfortable 

“My vision for our church is to build up 

modern day apostles that live into our 

Christian faith here on Maryland’s Eastern 

Shore. I see that we are called to love and I ask humbly to serve on Easton’s 

serve our neighbor with an open hand and Deputation to General Convention ‘21, in 

caring heart, remembering always that we Baltimore, and also to offer cheerfully my 

are all God’s children. I pray that we may experience as a servant leader and as an 

fulfill that vision by each of us accepting enthusiastic and willing team player. 

our mission call and embracing God’s 

and wanted. 

My vision for the church involves radical 

grace in every minute of every day of our 


and unqualified invitation, welcome, 

14 lives.”

How do we accomplish that? Frankly, I 

don’t know. I DO know we must be open 

to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Prayer 

is the most powerful tool we each have; 

corporate and individual prayer empowers 

the Jesus Movement. And I’d like to 

witness that happening.

Jim Kamihachi 

I am a member of 

St. Mark’s Church 

in Perryville, at the 

edge of the Northern 

Convocation. It’s 

a wonderful, small 

church with an 

inclusive Christian 

community and 

well-worth a visit. 

Currently, I am a deacon-in-training, 

Chairman of the Diversity Awareness 

Commission, and a member of the 

Constitution and Canons Committee. I 

am a past member of the Commission on 

Ministry. 

Bishop San reassigned me to St. Mark’s last 

March, and since then I have assisted in 

nearly every Sunday service, occasionally 

leading Morning Prayer. I also help give 

out food to the needy at the monthly 

church food pantry, and I continue to 

assist Fr. John Schaeffer at his 12-step 

services and unload delivery trucks for the 

Outreach program at St. Mary Anne’s in 

North East. I take comfort in less visible 

service, such as cleaning up after church 

functions. 

I devoted my career to regulatory policy 

and spent 20 years in the federal service 

at the Environmental Protection Agency, 

the Office of Management and Budget, and 

the Treasury Department. When I retired 

from government, I was the Sr. Deputy 

Comptroller for Economic and Policy 

Analysis at the Office of the Comptroller of 

the Currency, the administrator of national 

banks. I was at Promontory Financial 

Group for 17 years, working with banks on 

compliance risk management. In earlier 

days, I led the Mayor of Seattle’s policy 

staff and was a member of the Board of the 

family business. 


Sandy Bjork 

I am a RN with a B.S. in Health Care 

Administration and a J.D. with a certificate 

in Health Law. My career path has been 

direct patient care, utilization review and 

case management. Following Law School, 

I worked with members of the radiology 

community developing guidelines and 

standards for radiologic procedures. 

My husband and I enjoy travel in the 

US and abroad, golf, and local theater. I 

was pleased to spend almost ten years of 

singing with the Chester River Chorale. 

We are fortunate to have our children and 

grandchildren living on the Western Shore 

and in New York so there are many trips 

back over the Bay Bridge. 

I see the vision of the church already being 

played out in response to Bishop Curry’s 

The Way of Love and particularly in the 

reconciliation efforts through the Sacred 

Ground initiative. When we can see God 

in the face of every human no matter who 

they might be or where we might find 

them, then we will be accomplishing the 

mission of Jesus.

At work and in my communities I

numerous task forces and committees 

including DOE’s Standing Committee, 

the Diocesan Council, the Commission

Committee, and as a deputy to the 

78th annual General Convention of the 

Episcopal Church. At that convention 

I co-authored two resolutions adopted 

by the convention regarding new church

As a founding member of the Diocesan

continue the work of the recovery ministry

I have been a guest lecturer at General

I served on the Human Resources

darkness of divisiveness has taken over 

the world. Jesus calls the church to be a 

change agent, transforming the darkness 

of division into the light of peace and

the goodness of God. Just as the mirror in 

a lighthouse projects light to guide ships

We are called to love everyone, just as God 

loves us. 


- Barbara Anne Fisher 

The Rev. Dr. Barbara 

Anne Fisher was first 

ordained a minister 

by the Fellowship

December 16, 2017. She holds a Bachelor 

of Science and a Master of Education 

from Ball State University; a Master of 

Christian Education from Christian 

Theological Seminary; and a Doctor of 

Ministry in Educational Leadership and a 

Diploma of Anglican Studies from Virginia 

Theological Seminary. 

Barbara Anne taught in private and public 

middle schools in both Indiana and 

Florida for twenty-seven years, serving as 

both classroom teacher and Subject Area 

Leader for Science. She held numerous 

leadership positions within the school 

districts in which she served. Barbara 

Anne retired from teaching in 2008 to 

come to the Eastern Shore of Maryland 

as the lay Program Director at St. Peter’s 

Episcopal Church, Salisbury, and begin her 

doctoral work at VTS. Barbara Anne is 

currently the Missioner: Church Beyond 

the Walls for the Diocese of Easton, 

and the Interim Rector in the Southern 

Convocation at St. Alban’s Episcopal 

Church, Salisbury, Maryland.

the “woods by the stream” north of Easton. 

In Barbara Anne’s words: My vision is for 

the Church to come into the fullness of 

our Baptismal Covenant in all aspects with 

regards to social justice issues; equality for 

all regardless of ethnicity, gender/sexual 

fluidity, social/economical status; or lay/ 

ordained leadership within the church. 

My prayer is for the Church to embrace 

the sacredness of an open Eucharistic 

Table, to carry that sacredness forward 

beyond the doors of each parish, building 

true missional community as we partner 

with the wider community – becoming the 

hands, feet, heart, and face of Jesus in the 

midst of the struggles and pain of a weary 

world.

United in a Leap of Faith 

In the early 2000’s, St. Paul’s 

Episcopal Church in Centreville 

recognized that their historic 

facilities needed both restoration 

and renovation. Among other 

things, the beautiful stained-glass 

windows in the sanctuary needed 

to be restored to their original glory 

and the congregation – and the 

many community organizations 

using the church building – needed 

more space. In addition, access to 

the second-floor social area and 

kitchen had to be improved. It 

was becoming increasingly difficult 

– if not impossible – for some 

to climb the two-tiered staircase 

to Donaldson Hall. Even the 

Rectory across the street needed 

considerable work. So, in 2005, a 

Building Assessment Committee 

was formed and fund raising began. 

In 2007, the first step in the restoration 

began with many of the stained-glass 

windows in the sanctuary being 

removed and shipped to Virginia 

for complete restoration. In January 

2008, a formal Capital Campaign 

Committee was formed, and serious 

fundraising began. By 2009, the 

initial financial response matched 

the cost estimate of $2,500,000 and 

led parishioner Woody Woodford 

to make an impassioned plea that St. 

Paul’s proceed “United in A Leap of 

Faith”. This became the rallying cry 

and after several parish meetings 

the Restoration and Renovation 

proposal was approved. Bishop 

Bud Shand presided over the official 

groundbreaking for “Preserving the 

Past – Building the Future.” 

by Eleanor Strietman 

As work progressed, more serious 

building deterioration than had 

been anticipated was discovered. 

This resulted in an increase to the 

cost estimate to $3,500,000. To 

cover the time needed to collect the 

remaining pledges and the increase 

in cost, a construction loan for up to 

$2,000,000 was obtained. 

In June 2010, Bishop Shand 

returned to St. Paul’s and presided 

over a Dedication Service for the 

new facilities. By the end of that 

year, construction was essentially 

complete, and the construction loan 

was converted to a mortgage loan. 

In 2014, the Rectory was completely 

restored. This additional cost plus 

the cost of interest on the mortgage 

increased the total amount 

spent between 2005 and 2020 to 

$4,000,000 a very large sum for any 

congregation. With the support of 

over 200 families, this total amount 

was donated to “Preserving the 

Past – Building the Future,” and at 

11:25 a.m. on January 14, 2020, the 

mortgage was paid in full. 

On February 2, 2020, The 

Reverend Mary Garner, led St. 

Paul’s congregation in a liturgy of 

thanksgiving in word and music 

filled with many references to 

building. Then, with a flame from 

an altar candle, a facsimile of the 

mortgage was lit and dropped into 

a cement cauldron where it burned 

to ashes. Following the service, the 

congregation went upstairs (some 

on the new elevator!) to Donaldson 

Hall for a joy-filled celebration for 

the successful landing of their “Leap 

of Faith.” 

A Review of Sacred Ground 

by Debbie & Tom Shuster 

May 2019 through September 2019 we had the distinct 

pleasure of participating in “Sacred Ground.” a film and 

dialogue series based on issues of race and faith in the 

United States. Developed by Katrina Browne, Sacred 

Ground is part of “Becoming Beloved Community,” the 

Episcopal Church’s long-term commitment to racial 

healing, reconciliation, and justice. 

Facilitated by Libby Rice of Emmanuel Episcopal 

Church in Chestertown, and hosted by Francie Thayer 

of the Retreat House at Hillsboro, a group of us met for 

five sessions from May through August. In addition to 

being physically present in Hillsboro, we also had folks 

“zoom in” and join us from Malawi Africa, Altadena, 

California (and even Chestertown MD!). 

The series focuses on 3 books: “Waking Up White, and 

Finding Myself in the Story of Race,” by Debby Irving; 

“Jesus and the Disinherited, “ by Howard Thurman; and 

chapters from America’s Original Sin: Racism, White 

Privilege, and the Bridge to a New America” by Jim 

Wallis. In addition, there are16 films or videos to watch, 

and about 20 articles and essays. All of this can be done 

in the comfort of one’s home, although for each session, 

one of the longer films was presented at The Retreat 

House for community viewing. Our sessions focused 

on issues that resonated with us during our readings and 

viewings. 

The series covers racism beginning with the landing of 

the Puritans on Plymouth Rock (the real Thanksgiving 

story), slavery, our Latino and Asian history, the 

history of the great American melting pot (and who 

really got to be in it), the civil rights movement and 

restorative justice. 

This series was an incredible journey, albeit not an easy 

one. Our June session took place on June 16, the 400th 

anniversary of the first arrival of slaves to America. 

We took time during that session to ring the church 

bell at St. Paul’s, Hillsboro, to remember the 14 known 

individuals who were lynched on the Eastern Shore of 

Maryland (within our own Diocese) from the years 1898 

through 1934. It was a most powerful experience. 

Was this easy? NO!! Was it worth it? YES!! Would we 

recommend it? ABSOLUTELY!!
