Deacon Kevin Stewart to Retire
The Rev. Kevin Stewart has announced that he will retire as the Missioner for Community Engagement at the end of September. Deacon Kevin was ordained to the diaconate in 2007 and began his ministry with the diocese as Missioner for Community Engagement in 2010.
During his tenure, he helped to launch the Hospitality Center in Racine and Collars on the Corner in the Milwaukee area. He has served on several boards and worked with community organizations such as the Milwaukee Public Schools, Interfaith Conference of Greater Milwaukee, United Methodist Children's Services, Milwaukee Police Department, and the NAACP. He helped with social action causes and with organizations working to end gun violence. Kevin frequently spoke at interfaith and ecumenical events as well as community vigils and offered words of prayer and calls to action. In addition to his work for the diocese, he has served a number of diocesan parishes as deacon.
We give thanks to God for Kevin's imaginative, passionate service, advocacy, and faithful response to God’s call in his life. We pray for blessings upon him in this next chapter!
