From The Washington Post-
A longtime Episcopal priest who led the St. Alban’s Parish in Washington has been appointed interim dean of Washington National Cathedral.
The cathedral announced Wednesday that its governing board asked the Rev. Dr. Francis H. Wade to serve in a part-time role as dean to help transition to a new leader for the cathedral.
The massive church is in the midst of rebuilding after a 5.8-magnitude earthquake in August caused stonework to fall off its towers and cracks to form in parts of the building.
The Rev. Dr. Samuel Lloyd III stepped down as dean in September. He returned to Boston’s Trinity Church, Copley Square, where he previously served as rector.
The cathedral is also searching for a new permanent dean with hopes of having someone in place this year.
