Keynote Speaker: The Rev. Henry Hudson
The Reverend Henry Lee Hudson was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama. He graduated from Tulane University in 1974 with a degree in Classical Languages and earned his Master of Divinity from Nashotah House in 1977. He was ordained to the diaconate and priesthood by the Rt. Rev. Furman C. Stough that same year and served as curate at Church of the Nativity in Huntsville, Alabama.
Henry retired as Rector of Trinity Church, New Orleans in 2016 to return to his family home in Summerfield, Alabama. He serves as Priest Associate at nearby St. Paul’s Church in Selma.
Mary Beth and Henry were married in 1976, having met at Tulane while she was attending Sophie Newcomb College. They have two sons, T.J. and Will, who live in Denver and New Orleans. They have four adorable grandchildren.
Returning to Summerfield, AL was always their dream. In addition to caring for the 1845 family home, they enjoy gardening, readings, and various community organizations and events.
Henry has been a long-time friend and mentor to Harrison for many years. A great storyteller theologian, and inspiring leader in our Episcopal Church he will both challenge and comfort us.
