Our Leaders

Our bishop, staff, and governing leaders are passionate about serving the clergy and congregations of our diocese, as well as connecting new Anglicans with resources to grow deeper in their faith.

Meet Our Bishop

The Rt. Rev. Alex Whitcomb Cameron was consecrated Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh on August 6, 2022, by the Most Rev. Dr. Foley Beach, Archbishop and Primate of the Anglican Church in North America. He has been an ordained Anglican priest for more than 30 years, serving churches in Canada and the United States. Most recently, he led the Isaiah Forty Foundation, which provides teaching, prayer, and coaching to those seeking healing and wholeness.

Alex has served as Canon for Church Planting and Leadership Development in the Anglican Diocese in New England, on their Standing Committee as a member and as chair, and as the chair of the Bishop’s Council in the Diocese of the Upper Midwest. He previously worked for General Electric and had his own consulting company. He holds a M.Div. from Wycliffe College in Toronto, and a B.A. from Dalhousie University in Halifax.

Alex and his wife Tamara have been married since 1987. They have four adult children and four grandchildren. He enjoys cycling, woodworking, and playing the double bass.

When asked about what the heart of his ministry has been over the years, Bishop Alex answered,

“It has been to remind people that the gospel is true–to remind people so that they don’t forget that Jesus is Lord and that He saves.”

After receiving her master of divinity from Trinity Anglican Seminary in 2020, where she met her husband, the Rev. Canon Andrew Ames Fuller, Shannon spent several years serving church plants in the Diocese of Pittsburgh, before moving in 2023 to the Dallas/Fort Worth area, all the while continuing to walk through the ordination process. Both she and Andrew were ordained to the priesthood on April 23, 2026, and moved back to Pittsburgh along with their four children: Ephrem, Lilias, Adorée, and Melekiya. 

Before coming into the Anglican tradition, Shannon and Andrew served churches in other traditions and in several church planting settings. They also bring overseas missions experience and a shared love for helping people hear the Gospel as truly good news, remember the grace and belonging given to us in baptism, and meet the risen and ascended Jesus in the gift of the Eucharist.

They are thankful to be attending Redeemer Anglican Church in the North Boroughs. 

The Rev. Eric Phillips

Canon for Church Planting

Eric is a native of Greensburg, Pennsylvania. He studied theology as an undergraduate at Grove City College and, following graduation, entered pastoral ministry at a Baptist church in northern Virginia. He spent five years there serving as a young adult pastor, then moved back to Pittsburgh with his family to plant an inner-city church in the East End.

After another five years serving in inner-city Pittsburgh, Eric pursued further study at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary before moving to a rural community in northwestern Pennsylvania, where he and his family still reside. There, he worked at Grove City College as director of leadership development, helping lead a virtue formation initiative at the college. He later stepped down from that role to attend Trinity Anglican Seminary and serve as a curate at Grace Anglican Church in Grove City. Eric was ordained a priest in the Diocese of Pittsburgh in 2020, and in 2022 he planted Redeemer Anglican Church in Franklin, Pennsylvania.

He continues to serve as rector of Redeemer and lives in Franklin with his wife, Coleen, who is a math teacher at the local high school, and their two sons, Judah and Malachi.

As global missions advocate, Gretchen works at the diocesan and congregational levels to promote Anglican participation in global missions, and networks provincially with fellow global missions advocates and representatives from our New Wineskins Anglican Partners. For local parishes, that translates into practical support: she is available to help congregations pray more intentionally for global workers, identify giving opportunities, and take concrete steps toward sending and supporting cross-cultural missionaries.

Gretchen brings decades of missionary experience to the role. She and her husband Brad served as missionaries in the United States for five years, then as cross-cultural workers in south and southeast Asia for nineteen years, during which they raised their two sons overseas. She holds a master’s in intercultural studies and missiology.

John joined the Diocese in 2001, after serving four small parishes in West Virginia. He was called as the assistant rector of Christ Church Fox Chapel. In 2006, he became the vicar of St. Andrew’s New Kensington and in 2009, he became the rector. In 2013, he and the congregation crossed the Allegheny River and purchased a former Free Methodist church, renaming the congregation Christ Our Hope Anglican Church.

Fr. John grew up in rural California, PA. He met his wife Karen while studying at IUP, and they married in 1993. Together, they have three adult children and 1 grandchild.

In his spare time, Fr. John likes to work out at his local YMCA, play guitar, read, and watch his Pittsburgh sports teams.
