The Rev. William J. Taylor, III, our Associate Rector, joined us in August, 2004. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and was raised in Tamaqua, Pennsylvania, and Wilmington, Delaware. He has been an Episcopal priest for almost 17 years, having practiced law in Delaware before entering the ordained ministry. He has lived and worked in the Fort Worth/Dallas area since 1985.

The Rev. Janet Gregoire Nocher, our deacon, was appointed by the bishop to serve Trinity Church. Soon after her coming
to Trinity in July 2000, she started the Stephen Ministries program, and she continues to serve as its leader. She is also chaplain at Baylor All Saints Hospital and serves on the Commission on Ministry for the Diaconate in the diocese.

The Rev. Walter W. Kesler served as Associate Rector of Trinity for four years, retiring from that position in June, 2004. Fortunately for us, he continues to celebrate and serve when needed. Fr. Walt is an avid needlepointer, and examples of his work can be seen on the kneelers at the altar and elsewhere around the church. He helped organize the Seniors Group and actively promotes their activities.

Bruce W. Coggin, a priest of this diocese and its predecessor for over 40 years, has served parishes in Comanche, Hamilton, McKinney, Austin, Cleburne, Fort Worth, and Mexico, where he lived and worked for 10 years. Retired from parish priesthood, he teaches British and American literature at UT Arlington and Texas Wesleyan. His three children and their children live in Fort Worth and other Texas cities, and he devotes much of his spare time to yard and garden projects.
