Our Little Roses, 2008, a reflection

I’m happy to announce that Saint George’s mission trip to Our Little Roses, located in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, was a huge success, like always. Our group of 17 people met at Quarles Petroleum at three in the morning on August 4th, and drove to Washington where we took a plane to San Pedro Sula. We stayed until the 14th.

“They also preached” – Assistants and Associates St. George’s Part 4- Rev. Nathan Ferrell, 2002-2003

The Rev. Nathan Ferrell was our youngest assistant since Judy Fleming who was flung into a time of significant change in 2002 based on both local events and personal events affecting Charles Sydnor. This possibly had an effect on his time here, particularly with the retirement of Charles Sydnor in May, 2003. Nathan brought contributions to small group ministry, retreat management and the need to a plan for the future

Selections from several categories of our history.

5. Rev. Edward McGuire

McGuire served all 3 churches over the course of 45 years. He is probably the most influential of all our rectors in all phases of ministry from preaching, teaching, and outreach. Trip Wiggins, our archivist, wrote this for a Sunday school class and has been teaching classes for years

6. Tom Faulkner confronts the Vestry on race

Faulkner served St. George's for 30 years from 1946-1976. During these years racial policies were paramount, especially 1954, in the year of Brown vs. Board of Education, Faulkner was challenged by the Vestry on the role of Blacks in our service. He was able to move St. George's toward racial justice that other rectors would further
