Bio: Doug retired in 2018 as Dean of Trinity Cathedral in Miami, Florida, having served there for 12 years. During his tenure the Cathedral underwent a $7M building program to restore and renovate the oldest church building in the original city of Miami. The Anglican Chorale of Southeast Florida was developed, and outreach programs and interfaith relationships were strengthened that enabled the church to become a gathering place for civic and community events. Prior to Miami, Doug served as rector of Christ Church in Winchester, Virginia for 11 years, growing and expanding a congregation founded in 1745. While attending the General Theological Seminary in the 1980’s, he completed his clinical pastoral education at the Hawai’i State Hospital in Kaneohe. He has served parishes in Washington, D.C. and Virginia. Before seminary, he was a foreign affairs officer for the U.S. Department of Commerce and served in the U.S. Coast Guard.
Doug grew up in Los Angeles and attended the University of California, Berkeley and Johns Hopkins University. He and his husband, Claudio Gonzalez live on the Little River in Knoxville, Tennessee. |

CENTERING PRAYER - Until further notice, we are holding a Tuesday Centering Prayer & Scripture Reflection every Tuesday, 9:00 am-9:45 am on ZOOM.
Centering Prayer is a wonderful way to quiet our minds and be present to our God. There are many gifts that come with a centering practice: relieving stress and anxiety, creative inspiration, awakening of the senses, and a sense of becoming one with Mary, Jesus and our God.
Most of us know Dr. Matt Miller from Sunday worship as the guitarist with the beautiful bass voice, who wrote several music settings to the Advent scriptures. Dr. Matt graduated from UCLA with a PhD in Medieval English Literature in 1993, and decided the most useful thing he could do would be to teach people literacy skills. He did so until 2016, working at various locations including Island School and Kauai Community College. Now he is doing something even more useful — teaching Centering Prayer, a discipline he says is “paradise.” |
