Elizabeth Dawkins

Executive Assistant to the Bishop
919-600-5301 |

A native North Carolinian, Elizabeth Dawkins was born in Raleigh and is a life-long Episcopalian. Prior to joining the diocesan staff as executive assistant to the Bishop Diocesan, she enjoyed 15 years on staff at The Church of the Good Shepherd, Raleigh.

She enjoys spending time with family, gardening, and joining friends to see any play at the DPAC. Her addiction to modern fiction and classic literature, with a particular weakness for John Donne, is just the lingering after effect of having received an MA in English Languages and Literature from NCSU.

Patricia Hamilton

Executive Assistant to the Bishop Suffragan
919-600-5304 |

A cradle Episcopalian, Hamilton served for many years in the Dioceses of Massachusetts, Northern Indiana and, most recently, North Carolina. For the past two years, she worked as the administrative assistant for spiritual growth and adult formation at Christ Church, Charlotte. There she was involved in creating and supporting transformative programming including Christian Essentials, Sacred Ground, The Good Book Beginning to End, and The Space Between us, to name a few.

As a graduate of Duke University, Hamilton is an avid Blue Devils fan and looks forward to March Madness and cheering on the team. Her other interests include music, reading, travel and spending time with her family. One of her favorite things is going to church, especially visiting different churches and experiencing the Eucharist in unique and inviting ways.

Mercy Works: Lamentation and Healing with Julian of Norwich

Saturday, March 13, 9:30 AM - 2:00 PM

The Rev. Robert Fruehwirth invites all clergy and lay leaders to "Mercy Works: Lamentation and Healing with Julian of Norwich," a Lenten offering intended as a time set aside specifically to offer God the grief and hurt of the past year, allowing God's mercy to work more widely in us. Julian of Norwich's experience of mercy will frame our prayer and listening. When we offer the ways that we and our communities have shared in Jesus' death, God can give healing, and new and unexpected life. Ample time will be offered for reflection, listening, prayer and private conferences. An optional compline will take place on March 12. There is no cost to attend, but registration is required. Register.
