Our COLLABORATIVE consultancy: EPISCOLLAB
We are consultants to parishes, foundations and endowment boards. Our founder is a mentor to clergy and lay leaders in leading Episcopal congregations and has served as Rector of St. Paul’s Chattanooga, Saint Michael and All Angels Sanibel Island, and St. Paul’s downtown Augusta, GA. Donald helped manage an $11 million endowment in Chattanooga and launched endowment trusts in Sanibel and Augusta. He was a leader in an extraordinarily fruitful campaign for annual giving, capital giving and planned giving at St. John’s Church Tallahassee. He is active leadership in the Episcopal Church from the Carolinas to Maine.
He is skilled in helping congregational leadership move through change and stress into new and more healthy and powerful ministries. He has served on the Board of Regents of The University of the South, and he has preached on www.Day1.org
Donald holds a D.Min. in Congregational Development from Sewanee and is a mentor in Virginia Theological Seminary’s Lilly-funded Thriving in Ministry initiative. He meets frequently with networks of consultants as well as rectors and deans of leading parishes, cathedrals and seminary deans in the U.S. and beyond.
Donald is a past president of the Consortium of Endowed Episcopal Parishes, now known as the Episcopal Parish Network, a resource of best practices in endowment-building and management, Christian Education, leadership and administration, outreach and justice ministries, and more.
He and his wife Sarah are owners of EPISCOLLAB and Above and Beyond Faith Journeys, for families, friends, tours and cruises, and groups on faith pilgrimages. For their own refreshment they also enjoy summertime on the coast of Maine.
