​A quick note from Rev. Edwards:​
"I had a career in engineering and IT before going to seminary, working in various firms and industries. I attended Nashotah House for my seminary and Sewanee for my D. Min. I was ordained thirteen years ago here in the diocese at St Margaret’s where I was priest-in-charge and taught Bible and US Religious History at Episcopal. I moved to Long Island to be the rector and vicar of two parishes there in Southampton
My bride, Deborah, is a truly remarkable lady. She handles the employee benefits for LSU and many of the colleges and universities in the state. She has three master’s degrees in public health, counseling, and ministry. The daughter of an Episcopal priest, she is my true partner in ministry. We have four children, my oldest is in the seminary of Notre Dame from the Catholic Diocese of Baton Rouge, and two college student sons, one at Franciscan University in Ohio and the other at LSU, planning to transfer to my alma mater of Georgia Tech in the summer. Our Baby daughter is a sophomore at Episcopal "
