Deaconess Anne House: who are they?

The Deaconess Anne House was founded in 2012 as a ministry of the Diocese of Missouri and as a branch of the national Episcopal Service Corps program. This residential ministry sought to house young adults who spent a year living in intentional community, working at partnering social service/non-profit organizations, rooting all their work in Benedictine spiritual formation, and sharing in a communal rule of life.

 

Strategy + vision

In an on-going effort to ensure the program was meeting the needs and priorities of the Diocese of Missouri, Bishop Deon Johnson placed a pause on the program and engaged Vandersall Collective in August of 2022 to perform a review. This review included:

  • a document review of over 300 pages of founding documents

  • 19 stakeholder interviews

  • creation of a diocesan-wide survey of delegates

  • data analysis

  • competitive analysis of the field

  • comprehensive report with recommendations for short and long-term next steps
