Canon Charles Meyer Davis, Jr. Fr. Charles comes to us from Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Columbia, SC where he has served since 2001. He is the Canon Pastor, Canon for Liturgy and Canon to the Dean. Prior to this he has served as Rector at several smaller parishes: St. Christopher’s in Spartanburg, SC, St. John’s in Ocean Springs, MS, and St. Simon’s, Conyers, GA. All of these parishes grew under the leadership of Fr. Charles. He also served as Assistant to the Rector at St. Thaddeus, Aiken, SC and Assistant to the Rector, St. Mark’s, Dalton, GA. Fr. Charles graduated from The General Theological Seminary in New York City in 1985. He and his wife Alicia have been married for 30 years and have two adult children: Sara and Coleman. Fr. Charles and Alicia are planning to live in the rectory. They both love small towns, and Alicia would like to be a visible presence at All Saints and in Clinton. Fr. Charles’s first Sunday with us will be on Palm Sunday, April, 9, 2017. Fr. Charles is warm, compassionate, and an excellent preacher and teacher. He especially enjoys working with young people, and is pleased to be so close to Presbyterian College. His pastoral gifts and skills are evident and we know he will lead us with creativity and purpose. We are blessed that he has accepted our call. Marlene Halbert, Search Committee member, recently wrote: “It will be an exciting time for All Saints as we await his and Alicia’s arrival. Having been with him in the chapel at The Cathedral as we visited and worshipped, we saw what a wonderful relationship he had with the congregation.” The Vestry thanks you, the Members and Friends of All Saints, for your prayers, and we thank the Search Committee for their excellent work.
