New representative appointed for Dominican Republic

6/25/2019

The Rev. Mac Magee will be the new representative from The Episcopal Church in South Carolina to the Dominican Development Group. A deacon serving at Grace Church Cathedral, he takes over from the Rev. Jason Roberson, who is leaving Holy Cross Faith Memorial in Pawleys Island to begin a new call at Grace Episcopal Church in Alexandria, VA, in July.

"I am delighted that Mac will be our contact person and representative with the Dominican Development Group," Bishop Skip Adams said in announcing the appointment. "With his experience with mission work in the Dominican Republic and as a deacon committed to outreach and service, Mac will be a vital link in the long-standing relationship between our Diocese and the Episcopal Church in the Dominican Republic."

The DDG is a non-profit organization within The Episcopal Church that assists the Episcopal Diocese of the Dominican Republic with project planning, program development, and construction expertise; raises funds for the diocesan endowment; and coordinates the schedules and the work projects of mission teams from the United States working in the Diocese of the Dominican Republic.
