The Rt. Rev. Dabney Smith - The Fifth Diocesan Bishop of The Diocese of Southwest Florida.
After his seminary training at Nashotah House in Wisconsin, he became an assistant priest in the diocese of Central Florida. He and his wife eventually moved to Trinity Episcopal in Lousiana where he was rector, but he has said that his return to Florida was a return to home. Bishop Dabney was consecrated as Bishop Coadjutor in 2007, and shortly thereafter, he became our Diocesan Bishop. His goals are clearly laid out for our diocese and we are privileged to serve under his guidance. He is currently headquartered at the diocesan office located off University Dr. in Sarasota but he intends to return the base of operations back to the Dayspring Episcopal Conference Center in Ellenton.
Good Shepherd welcomes THE REVEREND CANON JOHN E. LAWRENCE as interim priest beginning January, 2012. Fr. John recently served as Interim Rector of St. Alban’s Episcopal Church, a large, multi-staff parish of over 1400 communicants in Northwest Washington, DC. Before that he was Rector of an active and very historic parish in Newport, R.I.. He also acted as Canon to the Ordinary in Southern Ohio under The Rt. Rev. Herbert Thompson. He is an experienced preacher and writer, having been editor for 8 years of Leaven, the newsletter of the National Network of Episcopal Clergy Associations. He is married to Jeramy Leslie and they are the parents of seven grown children and enjoy travel, reading, power walking, swimming, and outdoor activities.

 Christine Gladden - Nursery Attendant
Christine took on the ministry of our nursery beginning in December 2008 with a heart for loving children. Our church has continually discussed growing families and having a safe, warm and embracing nursery is a step in that direction. Her full time work is being a care provider who sits with elderly and disabled people in their homes, assisting them with necessary provisions. Christine is fully certified in the required National Episcopal Church course, Safeguarding God's Children.
