The Rev. Canon Anita Braden
Canon to the Ordinary
Upon arrival, the beauty and majesty of the mountain ranges coupled with the desert landscape are awe-inspiring. As I drive around the Diocese of Arizona, I continue to be in awe with the passionate nature of God’s people living into the Gospel of Christ. My heart is filled with gratitude for the opportunity to serve the Lord with His beloved people.
