There has been some controversy recently in our parish about On this subject, I must thank Marc Coleman, who has having an assistant priest. After a year and a half of looking for freely given hundreds of hours to create and administer a suitable curate, encouraged by my churchwardens and vestry, I the beautiful web site, which is enjoyed by thousands of found The Rev’d Ethan Jewett, who has now arrived and who will people throughout the world. I was scandalized at the last be, I am sure, a great asset to the ministry of St. Clement’s. Vestry meeting that, after the hundreds of hours Marc put into the website, he should be called a “thief” and a liar However, a majority of the members of the Vestry disagreed with and formally threatened with a lawsuit (which is already my choice of curate. Though they had always encouraged me to costing thousands of dollars more to both Marc and the employ a new curate, they began to say that St. Clement’s could church). This kind of childish and vindictive behavior not afford one. This was sheer dishonesty - we spent more than cannot be allowed to continue, or it will cost St. Clement’s $200,000 last year on two organists and twelve paid singers! We a great sum of money.

  • September 2009 Newsletter
    September 2009 Newsletter S. CLEMENT’S CHURCH 2013 Appletree Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103 Telephone: (215) 563-1876 www.s-clements.org The Rev’d Canon W. Gordon Reid, Rector The Rev’d Richard Wall, Curate The Rev’d Lawrence R. Sipe, Honorary Assisting Priest Peter Richard Conte, Organist & Choirmaster Bernard Kunkel, Associate Organist From the Rector My dear People, Father Wall Most of you will have heard that we are losing Fr Richard Wall, our Curate. He has accepted a call to be Rector of S. Andrew’s Church in State College, PA, and will move there at the end of the month. While we will miss him at S. Clement’s, we nevertheless congratulate him on this appointment (and congratulate the Vestry of S. Andrew’s for having the good sense to choose him!) I know you will want to join me in thanking Fr Wall for his ministry among us for the last four years. His work as pastor, preacher and teacher has been greatly appreciated, and he will be missed. If you would like to contribute to a farewell present to Fr Wall, please make your donation payable to S. Clement’s Church and mark it “Fr Wall’s presentation.” He will receive this gift at a special reception after the 10 o’clock High Mass on his last Sunday, 13th September. I am already looking for a new curate, though there will inevitably be a period when I will be on my own. This may mean that the Sunday Mass will be a Missa Cantata rather than our usual Solemn High Mass.
