The Episcopal Diocese of Southwestern Virginia 100th Annual Convention

100th Annual Convention

Rev. Todd Vie, St. Paul’s, Lynchburg It would be an honor to serve our diocese in this new capacity. So far, I have had the tremendous honor and privilege of serving St. Paul's, Lynchburg for twelve years, currently as Co-Pastor with my wife, Diane. I have served on the diocesan Executive Committee, Long Range Planning Commission and on the Search and Nominating Committee for Bp. Bourlakas. I have also served as President of the Board of Interfaith Outreach Association, on the Board of Trustees for Boys Home of VA, the boards of Churches for Urban Ministry and Miriam's House, on the Centra Health and Pastoral Advisory Panel and on the Parents Council of Virginia Episcopal School. Diane and I have been married for 25 years, and have an 18-year-old daughter, Amanda, a freshman at Wofford College.

Standing Committee, Lay Member

Jack Barrow, St, Thomas, Abingdon

My strengths lie in my ability to listen to God. As a life-long member of St Thomas, Abingdon I bring my experience as a vestry member, senior and junior warden, and trustee. My participation in the Diocese includes being a Delegate to Convention, former Member of the Standing Committee (serving during the election of our Bishop), and current member of the Executive Board (serving on the property committee). My involvement in the national Church includes my being a current member of Province III Council as well as a Deputy of the General Convention for the next three years.

Robert Miller, Christ, Blacksburg I have served on diocesan boards previously, including Trustees of the Funds, Executive Committee, and Search Committee for two bishops. I presently serve on the Commission on Ministry, and the boards of Boys Home and Phoebe Needles. I believe that I am a good listener, and am thoughtful and deliberate in decision making, and I would be honored to serve on the Standing Committee.
