Spotlight on Stewardship: John B.'s Story

John B. has attended King’s Chapel for over 30 years and is a proud supporter of King’s Chapel Stewardship. He currently serves as Chair of the Buildings and Grounds Committee, which cares for the church’s historic properties.

 In my role on Buildings and Grounds I think of stewardship not exclusively for the benefit of King’s Chapel, but for the benefit of the larger community that values historical design and materials, and association with historic places. I have made my living, in part, through the restoration and redevelopment of historic structures. I served for some years as Chair of the Boston Landmarks Commission. I try to bring both those experiences to bear in the preservation of the church properties. 
 
I came to King’s Chapel in 1990 looking for a Sunday School for my kids, and ended up teaching the youngest Sunday School class for eleven years. I found an intellectual home for myself as well. I tell my friends that King’s Chapel has more PhDs per pew than your average parish…. And then there is  Heinrich (Christensen)’s music. I don’t have to tell you about Heinrich’s music.
