As a Deacon who splits her time among the 3 Episcopal parishes in Bryan-College Station, The Rev. Mary Lenn Dixon joins us at St. Thomas once or twice a month. She serves in the liturgy as a deacon and will be preaching and teaching at St. Thomas from time to time. Mary Lenn has been a member of St. Francis, College Station, since it formed in 1983. She served more than twenty years in the children's catechesis, worked in the church's communications ministries, held the position of lay missioner for religious life, and was senior warden. Having now served a year as diaconal intern at St. Andrew's, Bryan, Mary Lenn is looking forward to being liturgically based at St. Francis but also working with the three Episcopal Churches in Bryan-College Station to create an Episcopal outreach community that can more effectively serve those in need in the Brazos Valley.
For the last 30-plus years she has worked as an editor at Texas A&M University Press, where she has acquired books on the history of minorities in Texas, among other subjects. Mary Lenn & her husband Warren have two grown children: Sarah and Rob.
