Ed Anthony has had and continues to have a big impact on his church and on the Dalton community, according to Father Rick Tiff, rector of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Dalton.
“He is our junior warden, which is like the second-in-command for a church elder board,” said Tiff. “He is head of finance at our church and serves at the altar as a eucharistic minister.”
A eucharistic minister helps prepare, serve and clean up after communion. A eucharistic minister also helps prepare those who have never received communion before to take part in the service.
Anthony has also served on the boards of a number of local companies and nonprofit organizations.
“He is retired from a successful career in the chemical and petroleum industry,” said Tiff.
For his service at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church and for his impact on the Greater Dalton community, the Dalton Daily Citizen names Ed Anthony Citizen of the Week.
