Bates, The Rev. Dr. J. Brent

Rector of Grace Church in Newark for the past 12 years, my first position was Associate Rector at Calvary Church in Summit for 2 1/2 years. I have served previously on the Commission on Ministry, the Cathedral Chapter, as an alternate to General Convention, the Journey Forward Commitee, and currently on Diocesan Council. I am seeking this office to give back my time, skills, and gifts to the diocese for this important ministry of reconciliation.
