All Souls Episcopal Church, Washington, DC: Leadership


Home > Leadership
Leadership at All Souls Leadership at All Souls takes many forms. Of our staff, one is full time and the others are part time to varying degrees. The majority of our ministry is led and staffed by volunteers—some elected to Vestry (the board that leads the parish) and many others who serve with committees, task forces, and informal groups that make up the life and witness of All Souls. Interim Period With the departure of our eighth Rector, Father Jadon D. Hartsuff on October 24th, All Souls has entered an interim period between Rectors. As we celebrate Fr. Jadon’s time at All Souls with gratitude, we are prayerfully looking forward to the arrival of an Interim Rector and, ultimately, the ninth Rector of All Souls.
