Reverend Cathy George to Preach on Sunday, August 4, 2024

As we begin our August rotation of clergy and bishops, we welcome back Reverend Cathy George. She is certainly no stranger to the Emmanuel pulpit. Upon request, Cathy forwarded her "bio" as some of the congregation were not around when she served as Emmanuel's Summer Priest from 1988 to 1996.

"The Rev. Dr. Cathy H. George is the former Associate Dean and Director of Formation at Berkeley Divinity School at Yale. A graduate of Macalester College and Harvard Divinity School, Cathy completed her Doctorate in Ministry in Transformational Leadership at Boston University School of Theology in 2017. She has served as a parish priest in urban, rural, and suburban parishes, and as a chaplain in prison and hospital settings.

Before serving as Rector at St. Anne’s in Lincoln she served at Emmanuel Church, Dublin, New Hampshire, and as Senior Associate at Trinity Church Copley Square, Boston. After 12 years In Lincoln, Cathy led two at-risk urban churches in Dorchester, MA: St. Mary’s and St. Mark’s, collaborating with the Diocese, community groups, and church partners to forge a future for these inner-city faith communities. Cathy is semi-retired, writing poetry, and serving as a teacher, and consultant to seminary students, parishes, and clergy as well as serving sacramentally."

The following Sunday, August 11th we welcome the Rt. Reverend Mark Beckwith, retired Bishop of Newark (NJ).
