"A 'cradle' Episcopalian, I actually grew up at Saint Matthew's
before beginning college in the late 1970s. I returned to the parish as
the rector in 2003. Prior to seminary I worked as a legislative
assistant and aide to Congresswoman Liz Patterson in Washington DC and
in Spartanburg.
"I am passionate
about the work of the Church to bring about the Kingdom of God. We are
called, as faithful witnesses and disciples, to proclaim Christ in every
way. We do this best when our actions match our words. I believe we
have a special obligation to the poor and the outcast, and we must serve
as Stewards of God's Creation. I am currently doing doctoral work at
Sewanee to sharpen that focus. My family, the outdoors, and writing
round out a very full life." - Rob Brown
