The Peter Powell Lectures
on Anglo-Catholicism and Mission

Upon the retirement of our beloved Father Pete after two decades of ministry at Saint Mary’s,
the Board commissioned the Peter Powell Lectures on Anglo-Catholicism and Mission
to honor his devotion to mission, justice, and service to the poor.

The inaugural Powell Lecture took place on Thursday, February 12, 2026, when we hosted the Rev. Dr. Andrew McGowan, Dean and President and McFaddin Professor of Anglican Studies and Pastoral Theology at the Berkeley Divinity School at Yale. His talk was entitled, “The Tabernacle and the Streets: Reserving the Eucharist and Feeding the Poor,” and a recording can be viewed below.
