A letter from Heather Adams, Registrar for DOMA
by Heather Adams
“For everything there is a season...a time to weep and a time to laugh...” (Ecclesiastes 3:1,4a)
I believe the Lord has told me it’s time to retire — a time to weep. This has been such a wonderful job. I consider it an honor and a privilege to have worked with such a godly group of people. When I look back over the years, I’m so thankful to God for all He has done in developing our diocese.
One of the treasures I will always keep in my heart is Synod. A highlight is Friday evening’s Eucharist. Seeing our faithful clergy, many who had lost buildings and sacrificed much, coming from different backgrounds and traditions, processing in and worshipping together as a family, would move me to tears. Our clergy make DOMA special. In the past few years, more clergy have joined our family, and that is a good thing. God has so much more for us and that is exciting.
As for me, I hope to spend more time visiting grandchildren, traveling, and sorting through photographs and spending time with my husband Rich on our “farm.”— a time to laugh.
