Diane Stanton: The Heart of Mission

Diane Stanton is a woman of substance.

As the wife of a bishop, Diane could have easily taken a more comfortably low-profile role. But when her husband, James Stanton, was consecrated as the 6th Bishop in the Diocese of Dallas 21-years ago, she began her own journey that would profoundly advance Christian mission, both at home and abroad.

Closer to home, Diane became the beloved founder of the Clergy Family Commission, founder of the World Mission Commission and is currently a sought-after speaker on a variety of religious topics including angels.

    The founder of Bwindi Community Hospital and various educational and cultural initiatives which saved the Batwar Pygmy people is Dr Scott Kellermann. He got Diane involved in his stellar ministry, and Diane pitched in marvelously, making a great difference for everyone and everything.
