Editor's Note:  Faith and Love: Clergy Spouses’ Stories is a new series by Anne Lee. It will feature the lives, talents and contributions of clergy spouses in our diocese.

Kate is married to the Rev. David Turner, the priest at St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Hampton. They have four children: Silas (13), Molly (11), Isaac (7), and Ezra (5). 

The oldest of four, Kate was born in Halifax, N.S. Her family left the city when she was 3, and she grew up in Fredericton, then Vienna and Thunder Bay.  When she was 18, her family returned to Halifax and attended St. Paul’s Anglican Church.

Canada is experiencing a national housing crisis in cities, rural communities, and Indigenous territories, with increasing rates of homelessness, a lack of affordable housing, and insufficient supports for those most vulnerable to housing insecurity. It is easy to despair in the face of such challenges, but we can also respond with hope! This event will focus on nurturing hope, taking action, and working towards solutions that create tangible differences for our communities. Together we can face this crisis head on, and proceed faithfully to address it and live out the call to love all of our neighbours.

This is an in-person event at Christ Church Cathedral that will also be live-streamed.
