2018 Convention Booklet

99th Annual Convention

Rev. Boyd Evans , St. Thomas, Abingdon Part of my calling is to bring healing and reconciliation to difficult conflict situations. I exercised this ministry several times prior to ordination. I believe that I am capable of hearing the issues which may come before this committee in an unbiased manner and help to derive fair, pastoral solutions. I also share a passion for ensuring that all of God's people and all of God's children have a safe place to worship, learn, and serve.

Rev. David Elphee , Non-Parochial I have worked in four dioceses since ordination in a ministry spanning fifty two years. I have been known as a thoughtful and compassionate priest, with a burden for the underdog.

Rev. Birch Rambo , St. John’s, Wythevi"e I served on the Disciplinary Board of the Diocese of Spokane and the Province VIII Court of Review and I know the canons well. I have also received discipline (not under Title IV). I understand how violations happen and I know the harm and hurt they cause the church.

Rev.Willis Logan , St. Mark's, Fincastle

My diverse work experience and pastoral heart would be my strengths. I owned and operated a few different businesses and have been involved in multiple non-profits as well as serving in a variety of Churches.
