DOK Quiet Day

We are excited to announce that the Rev. Canon Leyla King will be the guest presented at the DOK quiet day on April 12th. Rev King was appointed Canon for Mission in Small Congregations in January 2024. She brings great experience to the role as an Episcopal priest and a passionate supporter and advocate of small churches everywhere. For thirteen and a half years, she served as Rector of Thankful Memorial Episcopal Church in Chattanooga, TN. As a founding member of the Small Churches Big Impact Collective, King has worked with friends and colleagues nationwide to identify and amplify the beauty and grace of small congregations. In addition to serving small churches, she has vocations as a writer (thankfulpriest.com), an educator and a mother. A proud Palestinian-American, she feels called to provide a particular voice for Palestinian Christians in The Episcopal Church. Ordained as a priest in 2009, King previously earned her M.Div. from Harvard University, her B.A. from Dartmouth College and completed Arabic Language studies at the Arabic School of Middlebury College. She resides in Austin with her husband, Ben, and their three children.

Join us April 12th. All are welcome to attend! Registration fee is $15 and lunch will be provided.
