DWTX from Anaheim – Missy Denney, member of St. Thomas, San Antonio, and past president of the diocesan Daughters of the King, was elected first vice president of the national Daughters of the King at their convention that met in Anaheim prior to General Convention, July 1 to 5.

Betty Chumney, Diocesan World Mission Officer, was recognized by the national Episcopal Church Women by being selected as the “honored woman” from the Diocese of West Texas.

“These are both women who bring passion, talent, and many skills to their positions,” said Bishop Gary Lillibridge, “and we are grateful for them.”

He said that Chumney administers what he considers to be the finest World Mission Department in The Episcopal Church with tireless energy, dignity, and grace. “Betty is responsible for so many of our relationships around the globe through her personal witness,” he said. “She has a deep passion for mission work,” he added, “and is responsible for the fact that mission work is part of our DNA in West Texas.”

The national Episcopal Church Women meet for their Triennial concurrently with General Convention, July 8-17, at the Anaheim Convention Center.
