Assessment

Christ the Redeemer is an ACNA parish in the Diocese of Christ our Hope under Rector Trevor Spencer (since 2022). Yellow gender flag because the parish has a female ordained deacon (Tori Davis as Deacon & Women's Minister); the Diocese of Christ our Hope is one of two ACNA dioceses that has historically permitted female diaconate. Senior teaching authority remains male.
