Annual Convention 2022

103rd Annual Convention

The Rev. Jon Greene, Non-Parochial We are all called to serve. I had the honor to serve our country as a Naval Officer for over 28 years and then to continue my professional life supporting impactful research at Virginia Tech, an institution with the motto: Ut Prosim, “That I may serve.” I was called to the diaconate and ordained in 2018. I serve in the New River Convocation liturgically, pastorally, and working for social justice through the diocesan effort on Becoming Beloved Community, through an informal working group seeking to faithfully respond to the scourge of substance use disorder, and through Justice Advocates, a nascent and grassroots interfaith movement in the Roanoke and New River Valleys. If called to the Standing Committee by your votes, I would be honored to serve in that capacity, especially the sacred task of helping to discern if others are called to service through ordination.

The Rev. Eric Long, St. John, Roanoke I have been a priest for 23 years in three different dioceses. I have served in various size churches and filled diocesan leadership positions including: President of the Standing Committee (Central Gulf Coast), Diocesan Council (West Missouri), Regional Dean (West Missouri), and other temporary mission teams/committees.

Disciplinary Board, Lay Member

Lonnie Quesenberry, Stras Memorial, Tazewell I always take committee membership very seriously. I currently serve on three local boards, one of which I have chaired for 14 years. I also serve on a state board of which I have had four Governor appointments. I work well with people and know how much God has blessed me. If elected, I will give my best to represent the members of our diocese.

Elizabeth Moss, Grace, Lexington I would be very pleased to serve on the Disciplinary Board. Since moving to Virginia almost 9 years ago and immediately being welcomed into Grace Episcopal Church, Lexington, I have continued my lifelong involvement in church leadership, most recently serving as Senior Warden at Grace. I was privileged to serve on Diocesan committees in the Diocese of Kansas and the Diocese of Newark. In the Diocese of Newark, I served on the bishop transition committee, Diocesan Council, Steering Committee, and was chair of the Ward J Herbert Board. In Lexington, I have served on the Rockbridge Area Hospice Board of Directors and as president of The Rotary Club of Lexington Sunrise. I am a Paul Harris recipient. I have a B.S. in Nursing from Russell Sage College and retired from my career several years ago.
