Welcome, Elizabeth Raymer
A special welcome to Elizabeth (Beth) Raymer from Toronto, who has come to serve as our Warden during April, May and June.
Beth has considerable experience in the Middle East, including a period as a volunteer at Ecco Homo Convent in the Old City in 2015.
The position description for the Warden describes the core responsibilities of the role as follows:
The Warden exercises a ministry of hospitality within the College community. The person serving as Warden embodies the charisma of hospitality that lies at the heart of our mission, and the principal focus for the Warden is to assist the College to be a welcoming and hospitable community.
