We heartily welcome Canon Hall to Santa Barbara. Hall has a long history of service within the Episcopal Church, including his most recent position as Dean of the Washington National Cathedral, from which he retired in 2016.

A native Californian, Hall was ordained in Los Angeles and served as senior associate at All Saints Church, Pasadena, and vicar of St. Aidan’s Church in Malibu. In the 1990s he served the Diocese of Los Angeles as the clergy sexual misconduct officer. For his service, Bishop Frederick H. Borsch named him an Honorary Canon of the Diocese Los Angeles in 2002. Canon Hall received his B.A. at the University of California, Berkeley. He earned his M.Div. with distinction at Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Massachusetts and his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in English at UCLA. He has taught both theology and English literature at the seminary, college and secondary levels.

Hall and his wife Kathy have one son, Oliver, a musician and writer living in Los Angeles. Kathy and Gary currently reside in North Hollywood, California. Canon Hall begins at Trinity on July 9, 2017. He is scheduled to preach at both services (8am and 10am) on Sundays July 9 and 16.
