Leadership, Staff, and Committees
As is typical in Episcopal Church tradition of governance, the church is led by the Rector, who is “called” to that role by the “Vestry” which is the governing board, like a board of directors. A committee structure supports the work of the vestry and advances the ministries of the parish. In addition to committees covering areas such as community outreach, adult and youth education, hospitality, finance and budget, two organizations very active in the life of the parish are the Altar Guild and the Women of Emmanuel.

Rector's Blog
Terry Eagleton on the God DebateTerry Eagleton's book Reason, Faith, and Revolution: Reflections on the God Debate, offers a devasting critique of recent works by Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens (whom he refers to collectively as "Ditchkins"). It is brilliant, provocative, and very, very funny. It is based on his 2008 Terry Lectures delivered at Yale. You can view these lectures on the link below.
