Thirty or so years ago, soon after my wife Sue and I first joined Trinity Episcopal Church in downtown Toledo, we met a young priest then serving as assistant rector, her first calling out of seminary.
Today, that priest, the Right Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde, is the Episcopal Bishop of Washington, D.C., the first woman in history to lead that diocese, the one that, more than any other, is in the public eye. Though Americans mostly know her as the leader appearing from the pulpit at the National Cathedral speaking in times of national crisis, or the funerals of important persons, her role goes considerably beyond that.

Our community over the years has been blessed by the presence of several wonderful clergy representing the major faiths who have brought comfort, wisdom and a passion for social justice to their congregations and our citizens.
On Sunday, April 18, Charles Robinson will officiate at his last official church rite as the rector of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church after 17 years of pastoral care, shepherding and providing challenging and inspiring homilies.
Those of us in attendance will be there with a sense of many mixed feelings. A sense of joy for what he has brought to his congregants will be our predominant emotion but our sense of loss and the uncertainty of what the future will bring will also be present. We will also bring our thoughts and hopes for a healthy and productive retirement for him and his wife, Bonnie.
Reverend Charles Robinson will give his last sermon on Sunday at St. Luke s Episcopal Church. Robinson, who arrived in Park City 17 years ago, relied on his experience as a licensed marriage and family counselor who holds degrees in clinical psychology, philosophy and divinity, to lead his congregation and serve the community.

Reverend Charles Robinson plans to give his last sermon as rector of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church on Sunday, April 18, after 17 years of weekly sermons and service in the Park City community.
“I’m retiring,” Robinson said in his trademark unassuming way. “I’m 66, and I had always planned when I got to 66 that I would hang up my spurs.”
