It is a time of transition within our diocese, and we have a new clergy transition to announce.

The Rev. Elise Johnstone has accepted a call as rector of St. John the Baptist, Seattle.

Rev. Johnstone joined St. John the Baptist in August of 2021 as their priest-in-charge. Prior to joining St. John’s, she served as the Canon to the Ordinary of the Episcopal Diocese of Lexington, Kentucky, where she had served since 2014. Previously, she served as priest-in-charge of Holy Trinity, Georgetown, KY, and the Assistant Rector of Good Shepherd, Lexington, KY. She has a Bachelor’s in Classics from the University of Georgia, a Master of Divinity from the General Theological Seminary in New York City, and a Doctor of Ministry in Liturgy from the University of the South School of Theology in Sewanee, TN.

Please join us in welcoming Rev. Johnstone to her new role in the diocese, and keep all congregations experiencing transition in your prayers.
