Marc Nikkel Remembered September 8th

Grace Episcopal Church in Lexington, Virginia will hold its annual celebration of the life of Marc R. Nikkel (1950-2000) on September 8.  Nikkel was ordained in the Diocese of Southwestern Virginia by Bishop Heath Light , supported by the Church Mission Society of the UK, and served for 20 years as a teacher in the Episcopal Church of Sudan.  His letters from Sudan (Why Haven’t You Left?, edited by Grant LeMarquand, available at churchpublishing.org) have inspired many.
