The Rev. Don Chancellor, Rector
With a background in sales, Rev. Chancellor embarked on a second career in the priesthood, graduating from seminary at the age of 42. As an Anglican priest, Rev. Chancellor embraces the Episcopal Church's rich traditions, blending elements of the Roman Catholic and Protestant traditions. His ministry in small communities like Como, Mississippi, allowed him to serve the wider community beyond his congregation, embodying the role of a parish priest in a close-knit setting. Rev. Chancellor views his calling as equipping the Saints and empowering the people in the pews to do ministry, challenging the notion that clergy alone should carry the burden of spiritual service. He brings a unique perspective and a deep sense of commitment to his role as a priest, emphasizing the importance of building relationships and engaging with the challenges and blessings of the Mississippi Delta community.
