Tom is a native of Jackson, MS. He attended St. James Episcopal Church in Jackson, MS where he sang in the youth choir and was an acolyte. Both he and his wife, Marjie, are cradle Episcopalians. In 1988, they moved to Madison and joined Chapel of the Cross. During his time at the Chapel, Tom worked with the acolytes, chalice bearers and inquirers’ class and served on the vestry. Also, during this time Tom discerned a call to the priesthood. In August 2003, he and his family moved to Sewanee, Tennessee where he attended seminary at the University of the South. Upon graduation from seminary in May 2006, Tom served St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Brandon, Mississippi for seven and a half years. He then accepted a call to St. John’s Episcopal Church in Pascagoula, Mississippi where he served as rector for nine years. Tom and Marjie live in Madison and are very happy to be back home at the chapel.
