Loading...Next week, Bishop Ted Gulick will ordain two Episcopalians who could not be more different (generationally and ethnically speaking) but who will begin their ordained ministries serving together at a parish where different is now the familiar.
Daniel Kuol, left, is pictured at the School of Ministry, and Suzanne Warner was photographed at her ordination as a deacon last December.
The ordinands are the Rev. Suzanne Warner, who moved to the Diocese of Kentucky in 1959 form Memphis, Tenn., and served as a lay leader for many years, including as chair of its Justice and Jubilee department, and Daniel K. Kuol, who was among the group of nine young refugees who came to Louisville in August 2001 and became known to the community as the "Lost Boys of the Sudan."
They will be will be serving together as priest and deacon respectively at the Church of the Resurrection in Louisville, a congregation that was formed a few years ago with the merger of two parishes (St. John's and Emmanuel) that since has been transformed with an influx of Sudanese, Karen and Karenini members.
The ordination service, which will feature the diverse voices of Resurrection's congregation, will be Thursday, July 8, at Christ Church Cathedral, 421 S. Second St., in Louisville, beginning at 7 p.m. (ET). A reception will follow. It will be the last ordinations over which Bishop Gulick will preside in the diocese before his retirement.
Clergy are to wear red stoles.
