Dean of Episcopal Divinity School to resign

UPDATE: Tuesday evening

The Living Church reports that The Rt. Rev. Steven Charleston, dean and president of Episcopal Divinity School, in Cambridge, MA will resign the end of May.

“For me, the good news is that I have helped to bring EDS to place where I can say my work here is done,” Bishop Charleston said in a letter sent to alumni on Feb. 25. “EDS is a strong spiritual community rooted firmly in the gospel of Jesus Christ. It trains some of the best and brightest leaders for the church who consistently offer what the church needs most: ministers who know how to work in the real world.”
