TOP STORIES
A conversation of recollections with Jerry Hames Episcopal Life editor to retire after four decades as a religious journalist
By Neva Rae Fox
[Episcopal News Service] He has logged four decades as a religious journalist. He has worked for three Presiding Bishops and has edited nearly 200 issues of Episcopal Life since 1990 (or, as it was known in the early years, The Episcopalian.) He has had a view of the Anglican Communion from both sides of the United States -- Canadian border.
He is Jerry Hames, the tireless, dedicated editor of Episcopal Life. After 17 years at the helm of the church's national, award-winning monthly newspaper, Hames announced his retirement, effective June 30. "I never, never, ever imagined that what was to be a short bout continued for 17 years," he shared through a big grin.
In a series of interviews over a few weeks, Hames revealed, shared and recalled some of the memorable people he has met, some of the great events he watched unfold, and some of the things that made indelible marks on his life. But mostly, he talked about the value of communication, and the impact that Episcopal Life has had implementing the mission of the Episcopal Church on a Christian life.
