OUR CO-PASTORS
DAWN DICKIESON-LÉGER (she/her)
Halifax, Nova Scotia
Dawn is an ordained priest in the Anglican Church of Canada. She came to Harbor with a professional curiosity about online churches and ministries, and, more broadly, new and creative ways to envision and create spiritual community. With over 15 years of parish and chaplaincy experience, Dawn brings a wealth of wisdom and skills related to interpreting Scripture, facilitating conversation, and working for justice and inclusion.
Dawn holds a PhD in Human Relationships from Martin Luther University College and a Master of Divinity from Atlantic School of Theology.
JON MATHIEU (he/him)
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Jon Mathieu’s prodigious beard is like a scary-looking representation of his curiosity, sense of humor, and desire to build community. When you talk to Jon, these things are visible and ever-growing, as if bursting out of his face in all directions with no signs of grooming.
Jokes aside, Jon received his M.Div. from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary after ministering full-time for 11 years in conservative evangelical contexts. During his long and painful breakup with that tradition, it became clear that while Jon still believes in God and follows the way of Jesus, he needs to work (and exist) in progressive and inclusive spaces.
Jon also serves as the community engagement editor for the Christian Century.
DOTTIE OLESON (she/her)
Long Beach, California
Since Dottie was a kid, she has loved the Church and people. As years progress, the images of church continue to expand into a warm, eclectic, intercultural, queer place of belonging! With 11+ years working in ministry and extensive research in psychology, Dottie uses a cross-disciplinary approach to offer pastoral care and reimagine liberated church communities.
Dottie holds a Master of Divinity with a specialization in Global and Community Engagement from Boston University.
