Six months after America’s worst natural disaster, Anglican Communion Network (ACN) dioceses and parishes are still responding to the devastation of hurricanes Katrina and Rita by raising funds, sending short-term clean-up teams, and collecting truckloads of supplies, food and clothing.
The Rev. Marcia King, a May 2004 graduate of Trinity School for Ministry in Ambridge, PA, had no way of knowing that her posting to a medium-sized parish in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, would land her in the eye of a hurricane such a short time into her ordained ministry. St. John’s Episcopal Church, where King serves as Assistant Rector, miraculously survived with only roof damage, while the surrounding town was hard hit. “The first call I received once the phones were functioning again was from the Rev. Canon Daryl Fenton, (Chief Operating Officer for the Anglican Communion Network) asking me how I was, what I needed and how he could wire $15,000 down to us for relief efforts,” said Rev. King.
