The Rt. Rev'd. Thaddeus Rockwell Barnum
Bishop

Bishop Thad Barnum serves as Missionary Bishop from the Episcopal Province of Rwanda for the Anglican Mission in the Americas.

Bishop Thad attributes much of his early training and ministry to nine years (1978-87) spent at St. Paul Episcopal Church, Darien, CT under the leadership and anointed preaching of The Rev. Terry Fullam.

During those days, his love for expository preaching began and continues to this day. In 1987, Thad was called to plant a new church in Alliquippa, PA  --  a dying mill town. During his years as rector (1987-95), Prince of Peace Episcopal Church grew to over 300 with over 30 ministries active in all facets of parish life. During this time, Thad also served in many other capacities such as Field Education Mentor at Trinity School for Ministry, Chaplain to South American Missionary Society, Chaplain at the USAir Pittsburgh Airplane Crash site for Flight 427, and Chairman of the Mustard Seed Project which provides “Acts of Mission, Acts of Mercy in East and Central Africa.”

In 1997, Thad and his wife Erilynne moved to Pawleys Island, SC to serve as Directors of Missions at the North American Missionary Society and in 1998, the two of them joined the staff at All Saints Anglican Church.

They relocated to Connecticut in order to help plant a new congregation (Church of the Apostles in Fairfield, CT) and to develop a Northeast Network for the Anglican Mission.
