Please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to this annual fund, benefiting both the parish and the wider community.

The Jim Sell Community Conversations Fund

Jim Sell served as the priest of Christ & St. Luke’s from 1990 to 2005. The Jim Sell Community Conversations Fund supports Jim’s legacy of tolerance, kindness and generosity of spirit. It seeks to empower our community, in the broadest sense, to engage in meaningful, productive conversations that will inspire us to be the best version of ourselves. We are intentionally using the word “community” to embrace the Christ & St. Luke’s congregation, the city of Norfolk, and beyond. Like Jim, our hope is that these inclusive conversations will bring together people, ideas, cultures, and religions from varying viewpoints and yield learning, empathy, courage, and positive community action.
