Originally published in the August/September 2010 edition of Seek. Link to publication (PDF).
In November our diocesan convention will take place this year in St. Charles. Preparations are year-round and the first mailing to delegates and parishes leaves this office in mid-August. In that packet is a call for nominations to diocesan governance bodies. Governance is a word that can stop a reader mid-sentence and, in severe cases, cause one’s eyes to cross. But the Episcopalians involved with Diocesan Council, Standing Committee, Cathedral Chapter, and General Convention have a different story to tell—one of engagement and unexpected spiritual growth.

from Peg Cooper, Diocesan Council:
The Diocesan Outreach Endowment Fund was established as a result of the generosity of Missouri Episcopalians through pledges to the Making All Things New capital campaign. Its purpose is to challenge congregations to make a difference where they are and to improve the quality of life in and with their communities, to identify pressing social needs and to design strategies to meet those needs.

Senior Warden Bob Buehler announced to the parishioners of St. Martin’s on Sunday, Dec. 13, that the Reverend Jon Hall will be the next rector of St. Martin’s. For St. Martin’s, it has been a two and a half year process involving the Vestry and Search Committee, parish members and diocesan staff. There is great joy and gratitude for such a successful completion of the search process and the beginning of a new chapter in our lives.
Bob Buehler announced, “On Saturday morning, December 12th on behalf of the vestry, the Search Committee, and the St. Martin’s parish, I had the honor of calling our top candidate, Father Jon Hall, and offering him the position of next rector of St. Martin’s. Father Hall accepted immediately. Father Hall is currently the rector at St. Phillip’s Episcopal Church in Harrodsburg, Kentucky, where he has served since 2003. Father Hall, his wife Colleen, and their lovely daughter Abbey will be re-locating to St. Louis in late January or early February. Father Hall is a warm, engaging, and open spiritual leader. He listens attentively to all. He exudes calm and is very, very thoughtful. During the interview, Father Hall opened himself to us. During an interview that lasted over three hours, he actually moved several of us to tears through sharing some genuinely moving experiences. St. Martin’s is blessed to have him as our next rector.”
