Prior to serving in Columbia, he served as the Rector of St. Mark\u2019s Episcopal Church, Glen Ellyn, Illinois from 1997 -2004; as the Canon Pastor at the Cathedral Church of St. Luke in Orlando, Florida from 1994 \u2013 1997 and as the Curate at St. Paul\u2019s Church, Chattanooga, Tennessee from 1993 \u2013 1994. Edgar and his wife, Beth, have been married for 32 years. They have five grown children and a new granddaughter. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhen the Archbishop told me that the College had consented to my election, I thought of the words from King David, \u2018Who am I, O Lord GOD, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?\u2019\u201d said Edgar. \u201cI am humbled by the trust that has been invested in me. By God\u2019s grace, I will serve His church to the best of my ability to prove worthy of this call.\u201d <\/p>\n
Bishop Mark Lawrence, retiring diocesan bishop of the Diocese of South Carolina, stated, \u201cThis is most heartening to me on multiple accounts. I\u2019m giving thanks to God for Bishop Edgar\u2019s election and for what it heralds for the Anglican Diocese of South Carolina.\u201d <\/p>\n
God willing, Bishop-elect Edgar will be consecrated on Saturday, March 12, 2022, at the Cathedral of St. Luke and St. Paul in Charleston, South Carolina. <\/p>\n
