[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Current WES parent here.  I was actually over at school today dropping my daughter off for camp and happened to meet the new chaplain (also named Tim) who started today and thought he was fantastic.  Lots of energy and had clearly done his homework on WES and knew about our tight-knit community but also about what was required of the chaplain position.  While he is not yet ordained, my understanding is that he was far and away the best PERSON for the job and is working his way down the path of ordination.  Through crossing various paths, I happen to know the Bishop of Washington who has said that she supports Tim (the new one) and will certainly help WES make arrangements for an ordained priest to come in and offer the Eucharist twice a year and perform any other duties necessary.  A member of the administration told me that there have been three other non-ordained chaplains at WES in its history so this really is not a big deal.  The Bishop could not have been more eager to help with the transition and support WES in any way that she could.  Although Father Tim (the old one) was amazing, I think we're in good hands and I know that we have the Bishop's support.[/quote]

As an Episcopal family I WES, I feel it is "a big deal."  Is there any other Episcopal school in our diocese that doesn't have a priest serving as a chaplain?  [/quote]
