Gerlene Gordy
I am a lifelong Episcopalian, having grown up in St. Mark's Church in Coal Mine, New Mexico. At the beginning of my service to the church, it was primarily to represent my small church in our annual convocation. My life in the church began with leading Sunday School, Senior Warden, Area Mission Council, Vacation Bible School, Commission on Ministry, Youth Coordinator, General Convention Deputy, and now Communications for the Area Mission. I have also served as vice chair of a legislative committee to the General Convention. I am now an Evangelism Grant's Committee member and sit on the board for Episcopal Communicators. I have also participated in many events and conferences with the Native American/Indigenous Ministries of the Episcopal Church. Through my background as a layperson in the Episcopal Church with deep cultural indigenous roots and my work in Communications and outreach, I feel that I have the skill set to be useful and can offer a unique voice to the Executive Council.
