The Rev. Linda L. Grenz has served the Church in a wide range of roles since her ordination in 1977. She is currently an Assisting Priest at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City. In 1995 she founded and served as Publisher and CEO of LeaderResources, a consulting and publishing organization serving the Episcopal Church. This has given her extensive experience in consulting with congregation, leading conferences and writing. Prior to that she was the national staff officer for adult education, lay ministry and leadership development for the Episcopal Church, taught at the General Theological Seminary and served in a number of churches in Massachusetts, New Jersey, Delaware. She is the author of the Doubleday Pocket Bible Guide, a book on Christian Education coming out in the fall, and with her husband she co-authored The Marriage Journey a popular pre-marital preparation guide. Raised on a farm in South Dakota, her hobbies include gourmet cooking, walking and writing.

Linda lived in the area when LeaderResources had an office in Bethesda in 2005-2007, so Linda will be moving back to her apartment near the National Cathedral. Her husband, Del Glover, is the Chief Administrative officer of the Riverside Church in NYC – which is near the end of their search process for a Senior Minister. He is an active Episcopal layman and a member of Executive Council, the governing board of the Episcopal Church. His son, Christopher is a teacher who lives in DC; younger son, Jonathan, is a lawyer who lives in Philadelphia.
