In naming the church library for Verna J. Dozier (1917-2006), the St. Mark’s Vestry honors and perpetuates the memory of this extraordinary woman, who was not only a nationally recognized Episcopal theologian, author, and teacher, but also, from 1955 to 2006, a beloved member, mentor, leader, and friend within our congregation.
For more about Verna, including a list of books by or about her in the collection, representative quotes and sermons, and an extensive biography and bibliography, see The Life and Ministry of Verna Dozier.
Mission Statement
The mission of the library is to support lifelong learning by individual parishioners on their respective faith journeys and to support the work of St. Mark’s programs in Worship, Christian Education, Outreach, the Arts, Parish Life, Youth and Family Ministry, and Caregiving.
