Who’s Who

The Right Reverend Daniel Morse is our bishop. He oversees the Central States Diocese of the Reformed Episcopal Church and sits in their House of Bishops as well as that of the Anglican Church in North America. He is the bishop who received Father Paul and ordained him to the presbyterate. Bishop Dan has been an excellent over-shepherd to our congregation, and we are proud to have him as our “reverend father in God”, as the prayer book calls him. He resides with his wife Marianne near Nashville, Tennessee.

 

 

Father Paul Edgerton, originally of Newport News, Va, came to Wilson in 2002 to be near family.  Then a minister of the Church of God, he was active within the ministries of Farmington Heights Church of God and Community Christian School.

He married Christie, a missionary, elementary school teacher (and very patient woman), in 2006.  Soon thereafter they began the transition to the Anglican way of faith.  Paul teaches English at Hunt High School and Christie now works with a community support services provider in Wilson.

In September of 2008 Paul was ordained a priest in the Reformed Episcopal Church, an evangelical Anglican church which is itself a part of the renewal of biblical, orthodox Anglicanism and a leader within the Anglican Church in North America.  At the behest of Bishop Daniel Morse, Paul and Christie were commissioned to lay the foundation for an Anglican parish here in Wilson.

Paul is a doctoral student at the Robert E. Webber Institute for Worship Studies.

On June 6, 2009 Paul and Christie’s son, Isaac Andrew, was born.  On October 10, 2010 their daughter, Elizabeth Renee, was born. Elizabeth spent over four months as a patient in the Intensive Care Nursery at Duke University Hospital before coming home. The Lord has graciously helped her to recover and thrive. Both Isaac and Elizabeth were baptized at the Church of the Redeemer.

Tyler Crocker, our beloved pianist and Assistant Worship Director, has been a true blessing to Redeemer from the first Bible study Paul and Christie held in their home. Tyler was raised in Lucama and is a graduate of Hunt High School here in Wilson. He is the owner and operator of Crocker’s Lawn Care. He has served as a church pianist since his early teen years. Having come to know the Lord through his Baptist upbringing, he “converted” to the Anglican form of the faith as an adult. A charter member of our fellowship, Tyler was confirmed by Bishop Daniel Morse at our first service held at Winstead UMC in December 2008.
