Anne Rudig chosen to head Episcopal Church's Office of Communication

>By Mary Frances Schjonberg

[Episcopal News Service] Anne Rudig, an Episcopalian from the Diocese of
Southern Ohio, will become the director of the Episcopal Church's Office  of
Communication in January.

Rudig, who has a background in advertising, public relations, branding  and
art, was chosen by Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori after a  search
committee unanimously put Rudig forward as its final candidate.

"I am most pleased at the energy and creativity that Anne will bring to  this
work," Episcopal Church Chief Operating Officer Linda E. Watt said. "I  think
she will be a catalyst for original thinking and collaborative effort  among
those who work in the communications field in the church."
