Celebrate Our "In Residence" Friends
This Sunday, Jan. 22, after 10:30 a.m. service
In the early 2000's, then-Dean John Chane inaugurated an "in residence" program. He appointed individuals from various fields of expertise to enjoy a special relationship with the cathedral. Over the years, the program has become less defined, and the Dean has discerned that it is time to bring this program to a close and instead find a contemporary way to develop relationships and honor prominent individuals in our community. This Sunday, we will acknowledge and thank these "In Residence" friends of the cathedral as they retire from their roles.
-- Musician in Residence
The Rev. Paul Carmona, MMus, PhD, is Professor of Humanities, Philosophy, and Religious Studies, and also President of the Academic Senate, at Cuyamaca College in El Cajon. He regrets not being able to participate in the January 22 service at the Cathedral, owing to a prior out-of-town commitment to perform at a conference of harpsichordists.
-- Rabbi in Residence
For 15 years, Rabbi Laurie Coskey served as the executive director of the Interfaith Center for Worker Justice where she worked with our bishops, clergy and leaders. In 2004, she was appointed as rabbi in residence and has treasured this position. In 2016, she took on a new challenge as the president and CEO of United Way of San Diego County.
-- Composer in Residence
Dr. Stephen Sturk's church music is published by four major firms and is regularly sung in cathedrals and churches across the globe. He remains active as a composer and choral conductor in Southern California.
--Preacher in Residence
The Rev. Dr. Mark Trotter served as Senior Minister of First United Methodist Church in San Diego from 1976 to 2000. He has served as Preacher in Residence at St. Paul since Dean Chane invited him in 2001.
--Theologian in Residence
Dr. David Moseley is a founder and leader of the Global Education Initiative at the Bishop's School and also teaches at the University of San Diego. He holds degrees in law, theology, philosophy, and music from both Oxford and Cambridge Universities, and frequently leads international learning tours.
-- Artist in Residence
Ric Todd is (in his own words), "A spirited Black Man who strongly believes, 'Art is basic to all Knowledge' and has shared this belief in all aspects of his career, community services and with all the individuals he knows!"

Reconciliation 2017: "Bound With Them: A Look at the PRO Mentor Program," Jan. 29

(Heb. 13:3) Therefore, join us in the great hall to hear from the PRO Mentor program director Tom Morelli about the opportunities available to work with and mentor recently released prison inmates in San Diego, and to answer this resounding call from scripture.
Reconciliation 2017: "Black Lives Matter: The Movement," Feb. 5
