Summer Clergy

Rev. Susan Copley Reverend Susan Copley opens the All Angels’ season on June 26th.

Susan recently retired after serving for 13 years as the rector of Christ Church and San Marcos, in Tarrytown New York, a thriving bilingual, inclusive parish.  Prior to serving in Tarrytown she and her husband, David, served in Liberia, West Africa and Cochabamba, Bolivia. David, also an Episcopal priest, serves as the Director of Global Partnerships on the Presiding Bishop’s staff. Their daughter Megan Joy, lives and works in Edinburgh, Scotland.  Retired now in Newburgh, Susan has begun to serve as a volunteer chaplain at the local hospital, and has free time to garden, bicycle, try NYT’s recipes and binge watch British mysteries.  Her favorite proclamation is “God loves you madly.”

The Reverend Canon Jonathan Huyck officiates July 3 through July 17, 2022

The Rev. Canon Jonathan Huyck is the rector of Grace Church in Providence, RI, where he has served since 2010. Prior to coming to Grace, Jonathan served as Canon Pastor of the American Cathedral in Paris, where he is an honorary canon. A native New Yorker, Jonathan is a graduate of Brown University, the University of Chicago Divinity School, and General Seminary in New York City. Most crucially, Jonathan is an alumnus of Twilight Park Day Camp and a life-long (well, since age 3, anyway) Twilighter, having grown up with brother Peter, sister Laura, and parents Phil and Mary in the yellow cottage at the top of Thank You Ma’am Road. “I have many happy memories of both the Park and All Angels, and I am thrilled and humbled to lead worship at the church of my youth and preach from the same pulpit as Bob Massie and Fred Burnham. My wife (Ann) and sons (Ben, 10 and Nate, 6) and I look forward to being with you all this summer!”

The Reverend Dr. Nathaniel (“Nate”) Jung-Chul Lee returns to the All Angels pulpit July 24 and July 31, 2022

The Rev. Dr. Nathaniel (“Nate”) Jung-Chul Lee is Associate Rector of St. Mark’s Church-in-the-Bowery, in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Nate is a priest with seventeen years of ministry experience in diverse contexts across the country. Working with people of all ages, from a variety of demographic backgrounds, Nate is especially passionate about helping foster conversations between churches and their surrounding communities, and breaking down the walls between them. Nate has also pursued this work in a variety of academic contexts, as both a seminary and university professor. During Divinity School at Duke University, Nate worked closely with Professor Stanley Hauerwas on two books, the first a critique American exceptionalism, especially as exemplified in its militarism; and the second, a exploration of how Christian identity is translated into diverse cultural contexts. His recently completed Ph.D. dissertation utilizes the identity of Christ as Divine Word for a constructive response to questions of racial justice and reconciliation. His two boys, Ezekiel Sang-Hun (5), and Malachi Sang-Wu (2) are his north star, and the best of him.
