Abby Cornwell
About Me
A Richmond native, I returned home in 2023 after finishing school and found my way to All Souls while searching for an Anglican community that held together tradition, liturgy, and deep spirituality, a combination I'd fallen in love with during college. During the week, I work in state government focused on behavioral health, lots of policy and systems-level work (which I love), and I Iove that All Souls keeps me grounded and challenges me to see and love my neighbors up close. When I'm not at church or work, you'll find me planning my next adventure, getting lost in a novel, or trying to perfect my chocolate chip cookie recipe.
Why I Would be Excited to Serve
I would be excited to serve on the Vestry because I believe the way a church handles its money is a direct reflection of its values, and I want to be part of shaping that faithfully. I have personally experienced All Souls’ commitment to loving each other, loving its community, and faithfully pursing a deeper understanding of Gods' love for us, and I want to help this work continue to flourish.
Dan Logsdon
About Me
My wife Stephanie (Stevie) and I live in the East End, have been attending All Souls since August and before that were members of Redeemer Anglican Church and served on the worship, young adult, and hospitality teams. Professionally, I serve as the City of Richmond's head of AI and Data Science where I set the policy and strategic direction for the City’s AI use. In my personal life, I am a musician, pickle baller, runner, host, YMCA gym rat, D&D dungeon master, brunch lover, and occasional happy hour attender, which may seem like odd things to put in a vestry bio but are all ways I try to connect with others, serve, and foster community.
Why I Would be Excited to Serve
Steph and I have a deep love for Richmond and a passion for bringing people together, and we actively seek out opportunities to step outside our comfort zones in order to build community and make others feel welcome. All Souls shares this vision and seeks to embody a place that is open and available to all people regardless of background or circumstance, throwing open its doors figuratively and literally on a weekly basis to welcome the stranger and the foreigner who are seeking to be known. I would be honored to have the opportunity to help the church continue to fulfill this mission to the best of my ability.
I have a broad set of skills, both technical (data, finance, and math) and managerial (consulting, directing, and decision-making), and I would love to use them to serve the church.
Dianne Anguiano
About Me
My name is Dianne Funes Anguiano, and I currently serve as the Director of Operations at Central Virginia Legal Aid Society. I hold both a Bachelor’s in Health Sciences from JMU and a Master’s in Public Health with a focus on program management. I enjoy life with my husband, Nicholas, our miniature dachshund named Charlie, and a home filled with a collection of film cameras and plenty of spices for cooking.
Why I Would be Excited to Serve
I care deeply about supporting spaces where people feel welcomed, cared for, and able to find rest and community, and I bring strong attention to detail, and organizational skills developed through managing multiple offices and large projects in a nonprofit setting.
Paul Brasler
About Me
I have lived in Richmond for 32 years, and I am married to Claire. We have three sons: Sam (19), Ben (17), and Eli (14) and live in the Lakeside community of Henrico. We have attended/been members of All Souls for more than 2 years. I am a clinical social worker, a teacher, and an author.
Why I Would be Excited to Serve
I am humbled to be nominated to serve on the Vestry. My family and I are excited about what All Souls is doing in the community, while also building the body of Christ by embracing the ancient traditions of the church. Having served and lived in many parts of our community, I bring some knowledge of the greater systems and communities that All Souls is an active part of. If elected, I will do my best to support the vision of All Souls and will work to ensure that we continue to make an impact on individual lives and our community at large.
