Rev. Caedmon Grace, Minister of congregational LIfe
As a native Californian, raised in a small town outside of Bakersfield, Rev Caedmon spent his college years and beyond in Southern California, living in Orange County, Long Beach and the Inland Empire. His undergraduate degree is from an Assemblies of God University in Sociology and Women’s Studies, and he earned a Masters in Divinity from Claremont School of Theology, which has its home in the United Methodist Church. He was ordained at Founders MCC’s in 2010 and since then has been in ministry at MCCs in Omaha, Nebraska, Los Angeles and San Diego, CA. Rev. Caedmon began his transition from female to male in 2014, and speaks regularly to human sexuality classes in conservative universities about gender, spirituality and sexuality from his unique Clergy perspective. Beyond his passion for ministry, Rev. Caedmon loves scuba diving and hiking with his labradoodle, Glee. Reach him at x 16 or via email.
Lee bowman, Minister of Administration
Lee was born and grew up in Michigan, where he was an elementary teacher for 10 years. Lured by the beauty of the west, he packed up and moved to Denver in 1970 and worked in oil and gas investment and later for a publishing company. It was in Denver that he came out as a gay man, discovered God, and found MCC, all at the same time! After 12+ years on the Board of Directors at MCC of the Rockies, he joined the staff as Church Administrator in January, 1995. That’s where he first met Rev. Tony Freeman, during his Interim Pastorate. In late 1998, Lee was lured again—this time by the ocean and sun, Pastor Tony, and a true heartfelt calling, to be Administrator at MCC San Diego. His interests / passions include photography, writing, hiking, travel, movies and trivia, and collecting penguins - but not real ones. He may be reached at x 11 or via email.
