We give thanks for the life and ministry of the Rev. James E. Hampson who died Thursday, September 5, 2024. Hampson served as the Rector of St. Philip’s Church, Charleston from October 4, 1987 until September 1, 1999.<\/p>\n\n

He was born in Shreveport, Louisiana, on February 2, 1937, and graduated in 1959 from the University of Oklahoma where he met Sarah Elizabeth Oden, his wife-to-be. He received his Bachelor of Divinity from the Episcopal Theological School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1962. Hampson was involved in a range of ministries. He was a co-founder of SAMS-USA (Society of Anglican Missionaries and Senders), an original trustee of Trinity School for Ministry (Now Trinity Anglican Seminary), and a trustee of FOCUS, an organization committed to Christian leadership in private schools.<\/p>\n\n

Prior to serving at St. Philip’s, he was the rector of St. John’s in Huntington Valley, PA, a parish of more than 800 communicants. Before that, he had served as the rector of parishes in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n\n

Following their time in Charleston, he and his wife, Sarah, retired to Tallahassee, FL. where they were active members at St. Peter’s Anglican Cathedral.<\/p>\n\n

An obituary and information regarding funeral arrangements have not yet been released. We will send those out once they become available.<\/p>\n \n

Depart, O Christian soul, out of this world;\nIn the Name of God the Father Almighty who created you;\nIn the Name of Jesus Christ who redeemed you;\nIn the Name of the Holy Spirit who sanctifies you.\nMay your rest be this day in peace,\nand your dwelling place in the Paradise of God.<\/blockspace><\/p>
