16 | <strong>01945</strong> An enduring message of love BY BILL BROTHERTON The Rev. C. Clyde Elledge II began his ministry at Church of St. Andrew (Episcopal) on Sept. 11, 2011, ten years to the day after al-Qaeda’s coordinated terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and other US landmarks shocked the world. That day, Rev. Elledge, the brand new rector at the beautiful historic church on the hill on Lafayette Street, stood at the lectern and introduced himself to the congregation. He spoke of love, compassion, the importance of community, and our duty to support those in need. The parishioners embraced his message. No surprise there. St. Andrew has, as has every other religious community in town, been doing exactly that since it opened its doors nearly 100 years ago. Fast-forward to Sept. 12, 2021, and Rev. Elledge, now a decade into the job, recalled his early days in Marblehead and thanked the congregation for its commitment from that same lectern. “There was a history here at St. Andrew that needed to be acknowledged. A history of people in the community taking care of one another. A history of justice ministry, a history of inspiring leaders; Ward Gamble, Roy Grindy, and Kevin Bean are the shining stars in St. Andrew constellation of rectors who led this parish faithfully in their time.” Now, St. Andrew and other parishes in the Marblehead Ministerial Association, a collective of the town’s religious communities, are rallying around the Lynn Shelter Association and its plans to build a new homeless shelter. Shelter My Soul, a benefit concert featuring Marblehead native Chad Hollister and his big band, Deb Larkin and Jeff Stout Jazz Quartet, Soneta Srey, and other local musicians, will be held June 25, 7-10 p.m., at Marblehead Veterans Middle School. Tickets, $25-$50, are available at lsahome. Rev. Clyde Elledge, who has held ministry at Church of St. Andrew (Episcopal), for the past decade, is rallying with other parishes in the Marblehead Ministerial Association to raise money for the Lynn Shelter Association and its plans to build a new homeless shelter.

I thought, ‘Why not do something like this for the shelter,” said Rev. Elledge. “The reality of homelessness is an unfortunate component of modern life.” The current shelter is housed in a basement of the old Post Office at the intersection of Willow and Liberty streets in Lynn, the same building where many Marblehead residents have volunteered to serve meals at My Brother’s Table. “The Lynn Shelter Association has done an incredible job of providing services for the homeless, but the space has proven to be a severe challenge,” said Rev. Elledge. Plans are in the works to transform the ground floor of the old Osmand Hotel next door into a new homeless shelter. Rev. Elledge said the project will cost about $5 million, and $4.5 million has already been pledged or received by corporate sponsors and government grants. “My fellow colleagues and I at the Marblehead Ministerial Association believe that supporting the building of the homeless shelter is a responsibility that all of the neighboring communities must share,” said Rev. Elledge. “Because the shelter in Lynn MESSAGE, continued on page 18
