Anne Ditzler

Anne served as Senior Program Director for the Episcopal Church Foundation until March 2012, where she worked on-and-off since 1997 in areas related to leadership, education, and fundraising for congregations, campus ministries, and other Episcopal organizations. She loves theology, grassroots organizing, organizational development, sailing, and summer swimming holes.

Originally from Wisconsin and a "cradle Episcopalian", Anne has lived in NYC for about 15 years.  In 2009 she started living part-time in Brewster, NY as a resident companion with the sisters of the Community of the Holy Spirit. In addition to praying the daily offices with the sisters, she helped with chores on the sister's farm and their Saturday Farmer's Market booth.  She's trying to learn to slow down, watch the sky, and praise God with every breath.
