Say hello to the Rev. Lin Walton!
The Rev. Richard "Lin" Walton is delighted to have been chosen as the new Rector of St. Philip's Church in Southport. Before coming to St. Philip's, he was the Director of Spiritual Life at Deerfield Episcopal Retirement Community in Asheville. Lin was ordained 27 years ago in the Diocese of Virginia, and he also has the privilege of being married to the Rev. Christie Olsen Walton.
On July 26, 2026, people from across the Diocese of East Carolina and beyond gathered to celebrate 159 years of ministry at St. Cyprian's, New Bern. It was a beautiful service full of both happy and sad tears as stories were shared, a baptism was celebrated, and the Eucharist was offered. It was a joy to have Bishop Daniel, 7th Bishop of East Carolina, as part of the service alongside Bishop Fisher and the Rev. Paul Canady.
St. Cyprian’s was dissolved as a parish of the Diocese of East Carolina in November 2025 at the Annual Convention. Plans for the building are still being dreamed and formulated.
