Meet
the Rector and Staff of St. John's
| The
Rev. Dr. James G. Bradley, Rector |
 |
|
Jim
Bradley became the 19th Rector of St. John's on June 15, 1989. Three
weeks later a violent storm caused over $1 million in damage to
St. John's! Fr. Bradley's term as Rector began with rebuilding and
repairing.
While Bradley has been Rector St. John's has experienced a steady
growth in membership and financial support. St. John's Vision Statement,
written by the Vestry in 1992, has been the touchstone and guide
for St. John's ministry in the years since. During these years,
St. John's has become even more open and inclusive to the community.
According to Fr. Bradley, "St. John's has a remarkable opportunity
to be a model of the Future Church. People long for a warm and engaging
community of faith where they find and be found by God. St. John's
openness to the transforming power of the Spirit can lead to new
paradigms for community and ministry as we move to the next millenium.
If we are prayerful and committed, Christ will show us the way..."

I
began working for St. John's as Parish Administrator in February 1999

of that year. My husband, Hank Fotter, a custom home builder, and
I have 4 grown children and 4 grandchildren. I have moved 28 times
in my life but have lived in Connecticut for more than 25 years. I
studied political science in college and have worked in insurance,
bookkeeping, rental and condo management, and garden design in my
checkered career. Gardening, reading, puttering around our new home
and visiting family take up most of my spare time.
