“I served the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem as a journalist and a sacristan at St. George’s Cathedral. My journalism duties consisted of gathering information about the diocese’s service institutions (hospitals, schools, etc.) and various church activities and then writing press\ releases that are sent to various news services and supporters of the diocese.

My sacristan duties included looking after the well-being of the cathedral, leading prayer services, and assisting during Eucharistic services. I also assisted with the junior high and senior high school youth groups at the St. George’s, and I attended their meetings on a regular basis.”
