Alyssa Stebbing
I am passionate about the work of racial reconciliation in the church and in our communities. I have witnessed the effects of colonialism around the world, worked with teens in trauma from Native reservations, the inner cities of the US, to orphans in Russia. My call as a priest is to be an advocate for multi-ethnic congregations that face institutionalized racism, and for the full inclusion of our LGBTQIA+ siblings in the communion of God's Church. From 2007-2008, I was an Anglican delegate to the UN Commission on the Status of Women, and subsequently served a term on the The Executive Council Committee on the Status of Women. I've learned a lot from those experiences as a lay leader that inform my ministry as a priest today. I serve as a liaison for the Diocese of Texas on Episcopal Migration Ministries and advocate for the rights of asylum seekers, refugees, and the undocumented in the community where I serve and have provided training at addressing the state legislation.
