A man for whom I have very high respect is leaving Utah. Dan Webster, Communications Director of the Episocpal Diocese of Utah, is headed for New York City. He will become the media-relations director for the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA.
I found out from friend who called me today and then found the article in today’s Salt Lake Tribune.
Dan has been a stalwart presence in the peace community here. He has participated in many peace rallies in Salt Lake at which he has been a featured speaker. Recently Father Dan flattered me by telling me, as he lovingly pointed his finger to me, that I am one of the reasons things happen in our peace community here. (Of course I blushed and denined that I singlely do this – what happens here is a concerted effort by many people in our community. I just facilitate getting the word out).
I will miss Father Dan immensely. I am glad to see him take such a position, though. Now his influence will be felt at a higher level. His shoes will be hard to fill, for sure.
