 The Rev. William (Bill) Allport will be at St. Helena's on Sunday, May 23, 2010 and will serve as the 13th rector of St. Helena's.
Bill has moved 19 times across the U.S. & Latin America, including 10 years of congregational and diocesan youth ministry and the past eight years as a priest. He graduated from Dickinson College and Virginia Theological Seminary. Bill has served in congregations in Pennsylvania, Northern Virginia, and Hawaii, guiding the establishment of a “church within a church,” creating a national internship program for young adults preparing for leadership in the church, creating a weekly community prayer breakfast for public school students, and initiating new models of metropolitan ministry and alternative worship experiences in urban areas.
With his wife Carrie, Bill co-founded the Meat & Potatoes Ministry Collective providing curricula and resources for congregations, retreats and conferences; consulting relationships for congregations and leaders; and guest speaking, preaching, and consultation. Bill and Carrie have sojourned with communities and conference groups in California, Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania, Southern Virginia, Texas, and Hawaii.
Bill is fervent in his desire for the Church to be a community on Mission with Jesus Christ, sharing the Kingdom of God through the greatness of the Anglican heritage, with the vibrancy of contemporary vernaculars, expressing the integrity of our faith with authenticity and hospitality.
Bill loves Jesus, his wife, and his two daughters.
