All Saints’ Church in Beverly Hills, Calif., announces its call of the Rev. Janet Broderick as its eighth rector, beginning June 16:
She has inspired vitality, active cooperation, inclusivity, and imagination, leading people to a sincere and honest relationship with Christ and fostering a community of love, courage, and vision. With a good sense of humor and compassion, Janet encourages honesty and humility in those she leads.
Janet most recently served as Rector of St. Peter’s, Morristown, and has guided the parish to find [its] strength in love poured out by Christ in his life, death, and resurrection; encouraging deep and intimate worship, hands-on outreach to Latino and immigrant populations, rigorous education, responsive work for justice, and passionate heart-felt music.
