Celebration of Deacon Ken Parris’ New Call as Wing Chaplain
Story and photos by the Rev. Cn. Debbie Low-Skinner
Above are some photos from the Rev. Deacon Ken Parris’ special Evensong on Thursday, February 8 at Grace Cathedral, San Francisco, “to celebrate and thank God for the recent honor and appointment of Rev. Ken as the California Wing Chaplain responsible for California’s Civil Air Patrol Chaplain Corps activities. This appointment reflects his valuable commitment to the Church and U.S. Air Force.”
In the homily, Bishop Marc referred to Isaiah 49:16 and said how deacons and chaplains, such as Rev. Ken, are especially remembered and inscribed on the palms of God’s hands. Their work is to be called outside of church to minister to those who are suffering, in prison, on the margins, and/or far from home in the military and hospitals.
Participants included:
Officiant: Dean, The Very Rev. Dr. Malcolm Clemens Young
Readers: The Rev. Ken Parrish and his friend and fellow Oakland Police Dept. Chaplain Fr. Jayson Landeza, who is also a Roman Catholic parish priest
Prayers: The Ven. Nina Lynette Pickerrell
Homilist: The Rt. Rev. Dr. Marc Andrus
