You meet the most amazing people around St. Paul’s Commons, Echo Park, including Camp Stevens executive director Kathy Wilder, Zooming-in board members the Rev. Canon Kelli Grace Kurtz and Canon Patsy McMullin Brierley, and the Rev. Canon Melissa McCarthy for a great conversation about camp future; the Rev. Thomas Carey, giant of justice, activist, musician, and recently retired vicar of Church of the Epiphany, Los Angeles, now Queens-bound for a season of interim ministry in the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island, who came to see me for a chat about life, politics, and everything; and the Rev. Susan Stanton, our brilliant director of finance at the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles, with a photo of her son, Travis, a sheriff’s deputy in Pinellas County, Florida.
