The Diocese of West Missouri is pleased to welome the Rev. Morgan Mercer Ladd to St. Paul’s in Kansas City!
The Rev. Morgan will serve as Associate Rector for St. Paul’s. Previously, she served as priest in the roles of Sub-Dean and Canon for Faith Formation at the Cathedral of the Incarnation in Garden City, NY in the Diocese of Long Island. Her gifts and passions led the development and growth of intergenerational faith formation offerings for the whole of their community and as she assisted the Dean in the administrative leadership of the cathedral community. In addition, Mother Morgan – alongside her Cathedral colleagues – co-founded and most recently served as Formation Program Director for the Center for Spiritual Imagination, a non-profit and new monastic community dedicated to sharing the gifts of contemplative Christianity with the modern world.
“As we have shared many conversations and after her visit to St. Paul’s a few weeks ago, it became clear that so much of Mother Morgan’s sense of her ministry and giftedness aligns with many of our values and gifts at St. Paul’s as well as my own ideas and hopes for the future, especially as we seek to live into our recently adopted strategic plan in these next few years. Adding her to our team only continues to feel like an unexpected gift of the Holy Spirit for which I am so grateful,” writes the Rev. Steven King, Rector of St. Paul’s.
The Rev. Morgan’s ministry will begin on Sunday, August 25. There will be a festive coffee hour in her honor, where she will be joined by her husband Matt and her son Grayson. All are invited to welcome her to St. Paul’s and to The Diocese of West Missouri.
