Our Staff
Bishop Michael Hunn of the Diocese of the Rio Grande has authority over the diocese's mission churches of which Epiphany is one and thus serves as our rector. He appoints the vicar as his representative here.
Bishop Hunn grew up in New Mexico and Texas and got his higher education first at Middlebury College in Middlebury, Vt., earning a bachelor of arts degree in history and religion there; next at the University of Cambridge in England, earning a master's degree in theology; and then at the former Episcopal Seminary, Seabury-Western in Evanston, Ill., from which he received a certificate of advanced theological study.
Following his ordination as an Episcopal priest in 1996, his first job was as chaplain, head basketball coach and chair of the theology department at a boarding school in Kent, Conn., having Episcopal roots, the Kent School. He went on to serve as senior associate rector of Church of the Holy Comforter in Kenilworth, Ill.; Episcopal chaplain at Davidson College in Davidson, N.C., and associate rector of St. Alban's Episcopal Church in the city; canon to Bishop Michael Curry of the Diocese of North Carolina based in Raleigh; and in 2015 when Bishop Curry was elected the presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church, leader of his transition team and what was termed "a staff-wide restructure and culture transformation process." He was consecrated as our diocese's 11th bishop in November of 2018.
His wife, Meg Buerkel Hunn, is also an Episcopal priest who in Raleigh was assistant rector of Christ Church. They have three children, Dexter, Murphy and Dosie.
The position of vicar is vacant.
