Randy Murray has been the Communications Officer and Topic editor for our diocese for the past 14.5 years.  He has brought a vast array of talent and competence to this role and has done so with good humour and a deep love for the Church. Randy will be retiring from his role on December 15 and we will miss him very much.

Every parish and worshipping community will know Randy Murray.  Whether through the weekly email, Topic, the website, videos on the diocesan YouTube channel, other social media, Synod (he produced all but one (2009) of the 22 regular, electoral and special diocesan Synods, from 2004-2023), or a whole host of other communication tools, Randy has kept in touch with us and all of us in touch with one another. Many will know Randy to be on the end of a camera lens when covering an Episcopal Visit to a parish (or other place of worship).  Many will know of his sharp wit and ability to get the best photograph at an ordination or confirmation liturgy.  Many will know of his guidance and good advice when connecting with local media around a local issue or when sourcing quality, affordable components for a parish’s A/V software and hardware needs.  Randy has many gifts and talents and we will greatly miss him.

We have about two more months with him in his role as Communications Officer.  Please do send your greetings to him during this time.  We are working to find the next Communications Officer for the diocese and are receiving applications now.
