Bishop Allan granted status as a Chapel of St. Stephens's Church and, in November 2000, granted priest-in-charge
status to the Reverend Robert B. Dendtler. |
Shortly after his ordination as the ninth Bishop of the Diocese of Atlanta, the Right Reverend J. Neil Alexander
initiated a final process of examination based on Canon law. All Angels met the requirements, and an invitation was extended
to petition the Diocese for admittance as a parish at the ninety-fifth Annual Council on November 9, 2001, at the Cathedral
of St. Philip in Atlanta. |
All Angels' delegates were the Reverend Dendtler, Anna M. Haslbauer, and James P. Marshall, Jr. joined by several other
members as the group proudly entered the Hall of Bishops to be formally recognized. On Sunday, November 11, 2001, the
Steering Committee of All Angels met following morning worship and renamed itself the Vestry of All Angels and invited
the Reverend Dendtler to become its first rector. Bishop Alexander dedicated and consecrated All Angels on
Sunday, January 27, 2002, followed by a celebration supper. |
