Meet the St. Paul’s Search Committee


St. Paul's Search Committee: left to right:  Susan Ewing, Phyllis James, Natalie Davis, John Taylor, Jean White, Brian Carr, Martha Anne Ellis, Don Cowles, Barbara Holley, Frank Mountcastle, Jim Gwin, Jennine Sherrill 

As you can see, we are a diverse group of five men and seven women.  We range in age from 18 to 79. Surprising to us, no Search Committee members were born in Richmond.  We all grew up in different places.  Our years at St. Paul’s range from 4 years to 44 years.

Steve Van Voorhees has provided tremendously valuable guidance as the Diocesan Consultant to the Search Committee.

Throughout our search process, we and the Parish have surrounded our work with prayer:

God of Grace,
we give thanks for our Parish family
and ask for your guidance as we move forward
through this transition and search for a new Rector.
Bless our diverse gifts,
unite us in our common purpose
 and make us instruments of your will.
We ask your blessing
on our Search Committee and our congregation
as we go forth in Jesus' name.
