Clergy
The Rev. Daniel J. Handschy, Ph.D. (Retired May 31, 2024)
Our priest Father Dan has been with St. David’s since August 2019. A scholar of historical theology, he leads St. David’s in exploring the intersections of spirituality, science, and scripture.
Vestry
Episcopal churches are led by a “Vestry” or church council of lay people. Members are elected by the whole congregation, and are responsible for working with clergy to define and support the congregation’s mission, ensure effective organization and planning, and steward church resources.
