Deputies from the Diocese of California join members of Church of Our Saviour to discuss highlights of our Church's triennial meeting -- General Convention -- in Austin this past July, and our ongoing work in discerning what the Church has to say both about the future of Christian mission and ministry in our time, and the pressing moral issues our world is currently facing.

The Rev.

Over the course of her ministry as a deacon, she has served at three parishes in The Episcopal Diocese of California.

Michael Morison holds a Master of Theology degree from Loyola University of Chicago and a Master of Divinity degree from Westin Jesuit School of Theology in Cambridge, MA. His thesis for his systematic theology degree was titled: Christology as the Unifying Factor in the Life and Work of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. During Morison's research, his mentor was Dr. F. Burton Nelson who was the Vice President of the International Bonhoeffer Society's Oral History Committee. As a result, Morison had access to Bonhoeffer's family (including Bonhoeffer's official biographer Eberhard Bethlehem), friends, students, and unpublished source materials.
