August 3 – The Rev. G. Keith Owen, II
Keith Owen is a native Virginian whose 33 year ministry took him from Southeastern Virginia to Albany, New York, and finally to Cleveland, Ohio, where he currently resides. He retired from active parish ministry in 2021, but remains engaged in interim ministry, supply work and diocesan affairs. For 30 years, he has served a summer chapel in Whitefield, New Hampshire. He is a graduate of the University of Virginia (Political Science, 1982) and the General Theological Seminary (1988). He completed further studies at Princeton Theological Seminary (Certificate in Pastoral Leadership) and Cleveland State University (Arabic and Islamic Studies). He is married to Monica, an Occupational Therapist in the Cleveland Public Schools and they have 3 grown children.
Upon retirement, Keith embarked upon a unique personal pilgrimage. He underwent training to acquire a Commercial Driver’s License and spent the next two and a half years working as a “big rig” truck driver. He spent one year driving “over the road” for a major national company hauling bulk liquid chemicals throughout the eastern United States. He then spent a year and a half working for a family owned local company hauling and delivering fuels, petroleum products and other commodities. In the Spring of 2024, he became a school bus driver for a local public school district while simultaneously taking up duties as the Interim Rector of a small parish.
Keith enjoys practicing yoga, weightlifting, swimming, bicycling, film, and reading history and historical fiction. Before he visits Wellfleet this summer, he and his wife Monica will spend 30 days travelling by train and exploring (on foot, hopefully) the National Parks of the northwestern United States.

August 31 – The Rev. Jamie Hamilton
My life is shaped by who I am as priest, educator, friend, and mother. I am passionate about creating communities that thrive in the life of service, generosity, listening, and learning.
For twenty years, I was both an educator and administrator at Phillips Exeter Academy, NH, teaching religion and philosophy and overseeing the health and welfare of students in my role as dean. In October 2014, I was called to become the Rector of All Saints Church in Peterborough, and for seven years I was blessed with a dynamic fellowship of parishioners who celebrated the joy and mystery of faith by attending deeply to how God was calling us to love each other and to be a sign of healing in the world.
In October 2021, I retired, and I am now living in Jaffrey, NH, enjoying the sweet time of leisure, writing, and consulting…. and wondering what’s next. In the midst of all of this, I look forward to returning this summer to preach at the Chapel of St. James the Fisherman.
September 14 – The Rev. Brenda Husson
Brenda Husson retired in 2023 as the Rector of St. James’ Church in Manhattan, a position she held for over 26 years. A graduate of Union Theological Seminary in 1983, all of her ministry was in the Diocese of New York, in parishes of various styles, sizes and demographics. Brenda and her husband Tom Faulkner (sculptor and retired Episcopal priest) moved from New York City to Eastham, where they are happily settling in with their two dogs in their renovated family home. Their son Christopher lives in Rochester, NY with his two dogs. Brenda first came to St. James the Fisherman as a teenager when her family spent their vacation in East Orleans. She is always delighted to be here.
