Guest Preacher - Jim Adams
The Rev. James Patrick Adams is Rector of Christ Church, located on Capitol Square in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina. Founded in 1821, Christ Church has a tradition of excellence in preaching, teaching, and sacred music, and it is well known for its robust outreach programs serving the needs of the poor and marginalized in Raleigh and beyond.
Jim attended Virginia Theological Seminary in Alexandria, Virginia where he earned his Master of Divinity in 1997. He was a classmate of Dean Moorehead. Prior to accepting the call to Christ Church, Jim served as Rector of Saint Alban’s Episcopal Church in Cape Elizabeth, Maine from 2000-2010. Previously, he was Associate Rector at Saint Thomas Church, Hanover, New Hampshire, and Episcopal Chaplain at Dartmouth College.
Jim is married to Allene Cooley Adams and together they are parents to six adult children. So far, they have six (nearly perfect) grandchildren, and two beloved (badly behaved) canine companions.
