“I am excited to share with the Diocesan community that the Rev. Anne Meredith Kyle has accepted the part-time position of Vocations Missioner, replacing the Rev. Charles Everson, who has accepted a call to be the Rector of the Church of the Atonement in Chicago. Anne Kyle will start her role as the Vocations Missioner on September 1. Please join me in welcoming Mother Anne to the Diocesan staff.”
– Bishop Bruce
Mtr. Anne’s primary responsibilities will be to ensure all of our people in process through the Commission on Ministry receive timely and accurate information on what is required of them. She will also help coordinate and organize ordinations.
The Rev. Anne Meredith Kyle serves the rector of Calvary Episcopal Church, and as the pastor of Christ & Trinity ELCA Lutheran Church, both in Sedalia. She holds a BS in Nursing from Mizzou and earned a certificate in Presbyteral Studies at Bishop Kemper School for Ministry.
She served most of her nursing years as a patient and nurse educator, and in the field of public health. Mother Anne takes joy in finding sacred space, especially in unexpected places. Prayer and homemade chicken soup are her superpowers. She unties the knots of life in the kitchen or biking along the Katy Trail.
She is excited to be joining the Diocese of West Missouri staff as the Vocations Missioner.
