Good Samaritan Care Team

The Good Samaritan Care Team is a reorganizing of the former One2Another program into a lay-led pastoral care team of members who provide practical services to fellow parishioners on a short-term basis.

Services may include transportation to a doctor or grocery store, meal delivery during an illness or other difficult time, light housework after a surgery, or other services deemed appropriate by the care team. Good Samaritan volunteers make a significant difference at a time when parishioners face serious challenges. Many of our Good Samaritans have expressed gratitude for not only being of service but also for forming a deeper connection with the parishioners they serve.

To serve on the Good Samaritan Care Team or request services, contact the Rev. Horace Griffin at 404-873-7600.

    The Rev. Dr. Horace L. Griffin

    Associate Priest for Pastoral Care
    404-873-7609 |

    A graduate of Morehouse College, Boston University, and Vanderbilt in theological studies, Horace came to St. Luke's in July 2017 after a twenty-seven year vocation as a college and seminary professor and hospital chaplain. While he has served on a part-time basis at a number of parishes, currently he has oversight for the pastoral care ministry and provides leadership for the fifteen Community Ministries here at St. Luke’s.

    An award-winning author of the groundbreaking, Their Own Receive Them Not: African American Lesbians and Gays in the Black Church, he was ordained to the Episcopal priesthood in 2005 and has passionately devoted his parish ministry to social justice, racial reconciliation and LBGTQ equality in the Church.

    His fundamental belief that we are called to love God and treat all humans with love and equal justice is at the heart of his ministry. When he is not working on making the world a better place, he enjoys music, concerts, and film. He is interested in reading books on religion, African American and Gay history, and First Ladies.
