Staff and Board
Reid Hamilton:
Reid
Hamilton is the Chaplain of Canterbury House because he loves everything
the University environment has to offer, from bright and interesting
people to ivy-covered libraries to smoky dives. Poet, musician and scholar,
he is most interested in things he has not seen before.
Before becoming a priest in 1998, Reid jumped out of airplanes, practiced
law, got married, got divorced, and got married again - permanently this
time! Reid has two children and has spent nearly half of his life in
one school or another. He is passionately committed to justice
and civil rights. His wife, Deb (originally from Detroit), also loves
music and social activism. Reid and Deb enjoy cooking together
and conducting bold culinary experiments on their friends.
Born in Joplin, Missouri, Reid has lived in Nashville, in North Carolina,
in Atlanta and Kansas City before at last making his way north. In his
life as a priest he has served as Assistant Rector of St. Paul’s
Church, Kansas City, Missouri, and as Rector of Christ Church in Kent,
Ohio – home of Kent State University – where he encouraged
a parish-based campus ministry.

Matt
Endahl:
Since 2007, Canterbury House Music Director Matt Endahl has enjoyed the flexibility of post- undergraduate, pre-familial life. His prime focus, music, has acted as a gateway to other
interests including history, religion, and government.
Though trained as a jazz musician, Matt's musical focus has often been in
more experimental territories. An early interest in and identification with
the jazz avant-garde of the 1960's led to a cautious respect for the
traditions and conventions of musical styles, and an appetite for the (often
bizarre) deviations from such traditions. His work as the music intern at
Canterbury House, under the tutelage of Stephen Rush and Reid Hamilton, gave
him first-hand experience in placing radical music alongside radical
theology.
Matt has taught jazz piano privately since 2006 and at Hillsdale College
since 2008. He is involved with the noise/experimental scene and recently
toured with guitarist Christopher Riggs, with whom he has recorded several
works.

Kathleen
Peabody:
Kathleen,
office manager at Canterbury House since January 2005, spent the
previous 20 years caring for family and running her home
transcription business. Kathleen was born, raised, made it through 12 years
of Catholic school, had a lot of fun, worked, married, had
her first son and got divorced in Detroit. She moved to
Ann Arbor in 1975, became active in the open schools
of Ann Arbor and with Interfaith Council for Peace and Justice.
She graduated from EMU in 1980. She married Michael
in 1981 and had two more children, now both in college. Kathleen
also has two (perfect) grandchildren. A
couple of highlights have been the joyful and gut-wrenching
effort of co-founding the public high school, New School,
1996-2000 and meeting Bishop Tutu in 1999 and again at Canterbury House in 2008. She is a weaver and also an active
member of Ann Arbor Friends Meeting and the Anti-militarism Working Group of Michigan Peaceworks. Kathleen loves her job at
Canterbury House and is happiest when
camping with Mike in the north woods.

Woody Goss:
Woody Goss is grateful to be at Canterbury House for his second year as
Concert Series Coordinator. Born and raised in Skokie, Illinois, Woody is
attending University of Michigan for his third year in the Jazz and
Contemplative Studies program on piano. When he's not at the piano, he is
probably outside. He hopes to see you soon!

tephen Rush:

Canterbury House Faculty Advisor Dr. Stephen Rush is a Professor of Dance and Performing Arts Technology at the University of Michigan, where he works with students from music, dance, art, and engineering. He is also the director of the Digital Music Ensemble, and the Music Director of the Dance Department. Trained at the Eastman School of Music under Samuel Adler and Gunther Schuller, Rush's music has been performed worldwide, including recent performances in Japan, Chile, Germany and England. His work includes every traditional medium (three operas, symphonic/chamber works, three concertos), and have been performed by the Detroit and Warsaw Symphonies, and members of the New York Philharmonic. He has many recordings to his credit, and collaborated with avante-gardists such as Pauline Oliveros, LaMonte Young, Roscoe Mitchell and Peter Kowald. Stephen Rush was Music Director of Canterbury House from 1998 to 2009, and has led liturgies at National Episcopal Conferences in Texas, New York, Connecticut and North Carolina, including services at Christ Church Wall Street and in collaboration with Desmond Tutu. He and Reid Hamilton are the co-authors of Better Get It In Your Soul: What Liturgists Can Learn From Jazz, comparing liturgica planning and execution to the performance of modern Jazz, with reference particularly to Ornette Coleman's Harmolodic theory. |
Wendell
N. Gibbs:
The
Right Reverend Wendell N. Gibbs, Jr., is the Tenth Bishop of Michigan
and President of the Canterbury House Board.
Wendell was born March 21, 1954, and lived in Washington, D.C. as a child. Before college he became a postulant in the Roman Catholic Order of the Holy Trinity, living and taking classes for three years at a Maryland monastery. He earned a bachelor’s degree from Towson University, Maryland, worked several years in various businesses. He joined the Episcopal Church during this period, and in 1984 enrolled in Seabury-Western Seminary, Evanston, Illinois, where he graduated in 1987. After serving as rector of Emmanual Church, Rockford, Illinois (1987-1989) and in several other positions, he became rector of St. Andrew’s, Cincinnati, in 1993, where he served until he was elected bishop coadjutor of the Diocese of Michigan on October 2, 1999. He was consecrated bishop on February 5, 2000, and became the Tenth Bishop of Michigan on the retirement of Bishop Wood in November of that year. For some bizarre reason, Bishop Gibbs is an OSU fan; but we love him nonetheless.
