Christ Church names its first female dean, rector


From Lexington-

The Rev. Canon Carol L. Wade, former canon precentor at the National Cathedral in Washington, will be the new dean and rector at Lexington's historic Christ Church Episcopal Cathedral. She is the first woman to hold either position at the downtown church.

Wade will assume her new duties in September. Her selection was announced Sunday during both worship services at Christ Church.

"I am overjoyed," Wade said in a telephone interview. "I cannot tell you how much I look forward to partnering with the wonderfully gifted people at the cathedral and working with the diocese, the people of Lexington and beyond.

"Christ Church is an extraordinary place. When you come there you can experience the majesty and mystery of God in a setting that values a beautiful and thoughtful and generous Christianity."
