Welcoming Deacon Maureen | All Saints Episcopal Church

Greetings, All Saints' Community!

I am delighted to return to my home church, even on a part-time basis. In September 1997 my husband Rob Greene and I walked through your doors and life has not been the same. When I learned that the Baptismal Covenant was the foundation of our lived-out theology, I committed myself to living as fully as possible to those promises.

I was raised in upstate New York, served in Peace Corps (Morocco), studied at the Sorbonne, did doctoral studies in International Relations/Middle East at Columbia (ABD) where I met Rob, married, taught in Virginia and North Carolina, and moved to Oregon in 1992. All that was so long ago.

All Saints raised me up and I became a deacon in 2004. I've served at five churches (currently at St. Stephen's downtown). For more than a decade I was dean of the Academy for Formation and Mission, but now I am the Resource Developer for Baptized for Life at VIrginia Theological Seminary. Locally, I am co-chair of Operation Nightwatch. Church-wide, I am on the National Executive Council for Episcopal Peace Fellowship and Project Manager for the Joint Nominating Committee for the Election of the Presiding Bishop.

Rob and I have been married for almost 37 years. Rob is the Tribal Attorney at the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. Until Covid our greatest joy was traveling. Since July 4, 2021, that joy is now being puppy parents to Jean-Luc and Phoebe (Frenchtons).

I am excited to reconnect with old friends and to get to know many new ones. I would love to meet people at Papaccino's or via Zoom and hear your stories.

Yours in Christ,

Maureen
