At a solemn Evensong at St. George’s Cathedral in Jerusalem, Archbishop Hosam Naoum presents the Saint George’s Cross Award of Excellence to Canon Peterson in thanksgiving to his long and outstanding ministry within and for the Diocese of Jerusalem.
Canon Peterson served as the Dean of Saint George’s College for 12 years and later as Secretary General of the Anglican Communion. He also led numerous pilgrimages to the Holy Land and helps raise awareness about the ministry of the congregations and institutions of the Diocese of Jerusalem.
We are all grateful for his ministry among us and also for his wife Kirsten and daughters Emily and Carrie.
