St. Martin-in-the-Fields Episcopal Church
Farewell Reception
Father Graham's Ministry has brought him to St Martin's and has stayed for the past nine years. The former Circus Chaplain served 10 years for the Ringling Bros and Barnum and Bailey Circus.
While at St. Martin's, Father Graham celebrated his 50 years of Ordained Ministry on December 18, 2013. I have included that event in this photo blog.
The included video tells the story of his ministry beginning with his stint as a Circus Chaplain.

"Ringling Bros. circus closing after 146 years. The "Greatest Show on Earth" is getting its curtain call. ... The iconic circus declined in recent years due to high operating costs and long, costly legal battles with animal rights groups, such as the one to eliminate elephant acts."
