Loading...On the feast of St. Andrew, we send you news that Mary Jane Cherry, Diocesan Communications Director since 2003, has accepted a call to be parish administrator and deacon at St. Andrew’s Church in Louisville. She will begin her new ministry on January 1, 2012, the anniversary of her first day on diocesan staff.
Mary Jane came to our staff on a part-time basis as editor of Episcopal News. As the whole communication world has changed during the past few years, so has Mary Jane’s ministry. She developed the diocesan website and led us into the Digital Faith Community to enhance the flow of electronic information, while continuing to edit diocesan newspapers and magazines until budget cuts eliminated our print media. Most recently, her skills helped to place our diocesan convention material online, where it can be reached by people far beyond the few who formerly received printed copies.
Mary Jane also graduated from the School of Ministry during her diocesan staff tenure and was ordained vocational deacon in 2010. This new position at St. Andrew’s combines her diaconal ministry and her gifts as communicator. Like the scribe in Matthew 13:52, Many Jane is able to bring out of her storeroom new treasures as well as old. We are thankful for her ministry as editor, producer, photographer, reporter, technical advisor, and colleague. We wish her and St. Andrew’s many blessings and adventures in their new partnership in ministry.
