Episcopal News Service. April 27, 1984 [84091]
NEW YORK, (DPS, April 27) -- Presiding Bishop John M. Allin has made permanent the appointment of the Rev. Charles Wheeler Scott as his executive assistant. Scott has been serving in the position on a temporary basis since the beginning of the year.
In the position, Scott works with Allin on the primate's schedule and travel, supervises the office, and handles much of the correspondence and research. He is also chaplain of the Chapel of Christ the Lord at the Episcopal Church Center and will represent the Presiding Bishop at some functions.
He succeeds the Rev. Edward B. Geyer who is now executive of the National Mission in Church and Society unit at the Church Center.
Scott brings a broad background in parochial and institutional ministry to the post. A native of California, he is a graduate of Carroll College and holds degrees from the Church Divinity School of the Pacific (B.D.) and General Theological Seminary (M.S.T.). He began his ordained ministry in 1950 at St. Paul's, Pomona, Calif. and started a chaplaincy to Claremont College while there.
After advanced study at General, he returned to California as vicar of St. Anselm's, Garden Grove where he served for three years. He then came back east as associate at Christ Church, Bronxville, N.Y. where he served for 8 years -- including a stint as acting rector in 1963-64. In 1966, Scott went to Hobart and William Smith Colleges as chaplain and member of the faculty for two years.
Since 1968, he has worked largely in religious editorial work as a free-lancer and with Seabury Press and Oxford University Press while serving as an associate of All Saints Church, New York.
