The Rev. Bob Henderson

Bob Henderson has been the rector of St. James’ Episcopal Church, Eufaula, Alabama, since 1989.  A 1974 graduate of the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) Law School and a 1986 graduate of the Episcopal Seminary of the Southwest, he was ordained to the priesthood in 1987. 

Since 1989, St. James’ has experienced remarkable renewal of spirit, activity and commitment and has grown numerically and financially, cumulating in a 2003 building project which effectively doubled the size of the physical plant.  Mr. Henderson attributes this physical growth to the spiritual growth which has taken place at St. James’ as a result of the increased emphasis on daily individual  prayer and corporate spiritual growth.
    
Mr. Henderson was born in 1950 in Clarksdale, Mississippi, a small town in the Mississippi Delta, and married his childhood sweetheart, Charlotte, in 1970. They have three children, Molly,  Bo, and Garrett.  He enjoys hunting, fishing, coaching pee-wee football, soccer and baseball, reading and cooking Chinese food.  His articles have appeared in such publications as The Living Church, The Episcopal Teacher, The Episcopalian, and Church Educator and his workshops on prayer and praying have been presented to various groups on the local, Diocesan and Provincial level.
