The Rev. Charles Graves IV has accepted Bishop C. Andrew Doyle’s invitation to become the new Canterbury Campus Missioner in Houston. Graves begins his ministry July 1.
Graves was most recently clergy resident and priest associate at Church of the Advent in Cincinnati.
“We are thrilled that the Rev. Charles Graves IV will bring his gifts and experience to our exceptional team of missioners reaching out to college students. Given the number of recent transitions in this group, we anticipate many new and creative ideas in the years ahead,” said the Rev. Canon Joann Saylors, canon for mission amplification.
A native of Maryland, Graves is a seventh-generation Episcopalian. He completed his undergraduate degree at Hampton University and served as a community organizer, campaign manager, and in a U.S. Senator’s office on Capitol Hill before completing seminary at Yale Divinity School.
