Rev. Sean and Rev. Kate Norris
Sean and Kate Norris run Dandelion Ministries which creates space to encounter the grace of Jesus Christ in your place of need (DandelionMinistries.org). They do this through creative means - art music, blogs, the “Bad Marriages in the Bible (but big redemption)” podcast, and hosting folks in retreat at their Long Island home. Their two daughters are frequent partners in crime; together they created a YouTube channel called “Betsy Bible: The Gospel told by toys.” Yes, they all goof around with their actual Barbies and toys in order to show God’s love for you in every Bibe story! They are both ordained Anglican ministers, Trinity School for Ministry alumni, and artists (Sean sings; Kate paints). They are partnering with ADNE Youth to run their first Creative Arts Camp on Long Island Summer 2023. They planted a church in Pittsburgh, served at the Church of the Holy Cross in Charleston, and are now very grateful to be a part of the ADNE family.
