St.
Mark's is a
Christian community
which was founded in the then center of the burned
Capital 1866, moved later to the new center, and in 1922 moved out to
the then "West End," which is today, geographically, the
center of Richmond, Virginia. We are all active members of the
Episcopal Diocese of
Virginia. We areUrban
Diverse Mission-oriented Eucharistically-centered. 
We
are a Parish church
St. Mark's is in reality but a part (hence the word "Parish") of The
Church of Virginia. With our sister parishes we are one Flock
under one
Shepherd (Latin: Pastor),
who has "oversight" of the Church. In Greek,
one who "over-sees" is an episcopos,
or in Old English, biscop.
At present we have
Three
bishops:
Peter Lee the Diocesan, David Jones, his Suffragan or helper, and
Co-adjutor Shannon Johnston who will be Diocesan when Bishop Lee
retires. All of our Bishops are in union and communion with other
Bishops who with their People are called The Episcopal Church.read

 Who
was St. Mark?
Our church is named for our John Mark, an early missionary, church
leader and the author of the second Gospel. Mark was the son of Mary in
whose house the Jerusalem believers met to pray when Peter was
imprisoned by Herod Agrippa I (Acts 12:12). Mark served as a companion
to Paul and Barnabas on their missionary journeys and was referred to
by Peter as his "son." Paul called him a "useful helper" (2 Tim 4:11)
and so we seek to be in our community today. Thank you for visiting
with us and please let us know how we may be of help to you.Clergy & StaffThe Clergy Pages ENTER HERE The Staff Page ENTER HERE |
