From The National Cathedral. (Frank is one of my favorite people)
The chair of the Washington National Cathedral Chapter, the Rev. Dr. James P. Wind, announced today the appointment of the Rev. Dr. Francis H. Wade as interim dean of the Cathedral. Wade has been called on a part-time basis to focus on spiritual guidance and support to the Cathedral during its search and transition to a new dean. Canon Kathleen A. Cox, the Cathedral’s executive director and chief operating officer, will continue to oversee the day-to-day operations of the Cathedral. Wade will take up his new position on January 6.
It was also announced today that the Cathedral Chapter has selected Alexander H. Platt to chair the search committee for a new, permanent dean with the goal of calling that individual by the fall of 2012. The Rev. Dr. Samuel T. Lloyd III stepped down as Cathedral dean in September 2011 to return as priest-in-charge of Boston’s Trinity Church, Copley Square, where he had previously served as rector.
“It is a great honor to be entrusted with one of our nation’s most treasured institutions, and it is a joy to be able to do so here in a community I have been a part of for so long,” said Wade. “The Cathedral plays a vital role in welcoming the country to pray, commemorate, celebrate, and mourn. As such, it must serve the millions of Americans of all faiths who turn to it in times of national significance just as ably as it does its local community and congregation.”
