Episcopal News Service. May 2, 1985 [85097]
NEW YORK (DPS, May 2) -- The Presiding Bishop, the Board of the Church Deployment Office and William Thompson, executive director, have announced the appointment of the Rev. David L. Seger to be assistant director of that office, effective April 16, 1985.
Seger, 46, has been serving in this position on a temporary basis for the last nine months, so has both practical experience and wide-spread acquaintance with diocesan deployment personnel throughout the country, the board said in an announcement of the appointment.
A native of Iowa, he is a graduate of the University of Iowa and Nashotah House and earned a master's degree in educational administration at Louisiana State University.
After secular school teaching and three years as a missionary teacher in New Guinea, he attended seminary and then was headmaster of All Saints' School in Sioux Falls, S.D. and priest-in-charge of Holy Trinity Church, Luverne, Minn. Later, he served as chairman of the Department of Religion and chaplain of Episcopal High School and assistant at St. Luke's in Baton Rouge, La. He first came to the Episcopal Church Center as assistant secretary of the General Convention and transferred to the Church Deployment Office in 1984.
In their statement, the Board said that "his cumulative experience as priest, educator and administrator in widely divergent parts of the Church will further strengthen the ministry of the Church Deployment Office in areas of vacancy and deployment searches, training, resource utilization, and counseling."
Seger, his wife and children live in Manhasett, N. Y., where they are active in local parish and community activities.
