Maryland priest named interim dean at Albuquerque cathedral

From Maryland-

The Rev. Dan Webster, canon for evangelism and media, has been named interim dean at St. John’s Cathedral, Albuquerque. The announcement was made Thursday (Dec. 21) by Charles Hawkins, senior warden, on behalf of the cathedral’s chapter and vestry.

"We are excited about welcoming Canon Webster as he joins us in our faith journey toward discernment of a new Dean," said Hawkins. The full announcement was posted on the cathedral’s website.

Webster has served nearly eight years in the Diocese of Maryland first as canon for evangelism and ministry development. Two years ago he was given responsibility for all media communications.

"I announced last May at our diocesan convention that Dan was transitioning toward retirement," said the Right Rev. Eugene Taylor Sutton, bishop of Maryland. "Dan has long wanted to return to the southwest and this is a blessing for both him and St. John’s Cathedral."
