St. luke's rector Search  - GOOD NEWS!

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

 

The Vestry is delighted to announce that the Reverend Dr. Benjamin A. Shambaugh, who currently serves as Dean of the Cathedral Church of St. Luke in Portland, Maine, has accepted our call to serve as the 8th rector of St. Luke’s.


Rev. Dr.  Shambaugh, will begin his ministry at St. Luke’s on May 1st, 2023. He and his wife Shari are very excited to soon call the rectory on James Lane, East Hampton their home with St. Luke’s.

 

Today we celebrate the end of a nine-month search process, staying “grounded in God” that involved much prayer and discernment.  The Vestry agreed unanimously to call the Reverend Dr. Benjamin A. Shambaugh.   Our parish prayer in the time of transition, which you prayed, we prayed, and the Vestry prayed countless times has spiritually touched us all. We are indeed blessed that God has brought Father Shambaugh to us.

 

The Vestry would like to thank the congregation for all your words of encouragement and prayers. We profoundly appreciate your patience and good will.

 

We must give a special blessing to Father Joseph as he continues to teach, preach and pastor this congregation during this transition. 

 

Yours in Christ,
