Annwn Myers

Born in Illinois, my father was an Episcopal priest; my mother, a registered nurse. After a brief move to Connecticut in the mid 60’s, our family relocated to Jackson, MS. Growing up I was very active in the Church and at Gray Center, the Mississippi diocesan camp and conference center. I graduated with a BA from Millsaps College in Jackson in 1981 and left that summer for my priestly and academic formation at Virginia Theological Seminary.

In June 1984, I was ordained to the diaconate and sent to St. John’s Episcopal Church in Pascagoula, Mississippi where I would serve first as curate and then as interim rector.  In 1988, Dixon Myers and I married and I returned with him to Jackson and worked for both the Chapel of the Cross in Madison, MS and as chaplain at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Day School.

In 1989, we moved to Sewanee and the University of the South where I had accepted their call to serve as associate University Chaplain, a role I held for nearly a quarter of a century before moving ‘across the street’ to the School of Theology to become their first associate dean for recruiting and admissions.

Dixon and I have two grown children who both currently live in California. My vocational passions are liturgy, Christian Education, and pastoral care. Along side all of this, I am keenly fond of dabbling in the arts: in particular calligraphy, fiber art, watercolor, and sewing.

We do not currently have any tours for Annwn Myers.
