The Rev. John W. Newton, IV, Missioner
Though born and raised in Beaumont, TX, Austin is my home.  I graduated from the University of Texas in May of 2004, and then worked for eighteen months as the program coordinator at the Episcopal Student Center.  That’s right – the Episcopal Student Center played a key role in my spiritual formation.  It was here, in this community, that I discerned a call to ordained ministry.  It is hard to articulate how special the Student Center is to me.  Before leaving for Virginia Theological Seminary in August of 2005, I had five years of Student Center formation behind me as both a student and as a leader.  It was with great sadness that I left this community.  In light of this, it is with great joy that I return to serve as the Episcopal Missioner to the University of Texas.  There is so much faith and vitality and energy in this community.  I could not be more excited to be back home.  Finally, I’d love to get to know you.  Give me a call.  Shoot me an email (.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)).  Write me a letter.  Send me a telegram.  “Friend me” on Facebook.  In other words, make contact.  I look forward to meeting you soon.
