New Sub Dean Announced!
December 15, 2015
The Rev. Dr. J. Russell Snapp has been named Sub Dean of Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Little Rock. An Arkansas native, Snapp is a graduate from the University of the South (Sewanee). He received his Ph.D. in History from Harvard and his M.Div. from the General Theological Seminary of the Episcopal Church.
Prior to becoming an Episcopal Priest, Snapp was an Associate Professor of History at Davidson College. He is also the author of John Stuart and the Struggle for Empire on the Southern Frontier (LSU Press 1996).
Snapp comes to the Cathedral from Grace-St. Luke’s in Memphis. He has also served as a priest in Siloam Springs, Newport and Helena. Also, Snapp served at Trinity Cathedral from February 2010 through December 2012.
As Sub-Dean, Snapp will have general responsibilities for preaching, teaching and pastoral care, administrative oversight of worship and pastoral care ministries, and will serve as the Chair of the Liturgy and Music Committee. "The Rev. Dr. Russ Snapp is a kind, scholarly priest in an Anglican mold that goes back to John Donne and George Herbert. He is brilliant, warm, and humble: a great teacher and loving pastor. He is also both a devoted Arkansan and sophisticated citizen of the world. We can’t wait to have him back at Trinity Cathedral,” says Dr. Chris Keller, Dean and Rector of Trinity Episcopal Cathedral. Of his appointment, Snapp says, "God is clearly calling Trinity Cathedral onward to be a center for prayer, learning, and mission for Arkansas and the larger Church. I am honored by Dean Keller's invitation to join in this ministry, and I eagerly look forward to returning there in the new year."
Trinity Episcopal Cathedral is a house of prayer for ALL people. Father Snapp will celebrate the Eucharist on January 10 and preach on January 17. As always, any and all are invited.
