Anne Waring
Director of Christian Education

Anne joins the Grace St. Luke’s staff as Christian Education Director after chairing the Children’s Christian Education committee for three years and being a member here for more than six years.

A native New Orleanian, she is a graduate of Lousiana State University. Professionally her accomplishments as a commercial landscape architect are many - ranging from the Olympic venues in Atlanta and greenway projects across the South to the Mike Rose Soccer Complex and most recently the renovation of the Memphis International Airport. But with the birth of her son nine years ago, she discovered that her passion had shifted. Anne found herself continually drawn to the study of the development of the mind. While she continued to consult on major projects around the country, her heart continued to search for something that would bring a deeper satisfaction. She has found exactly that in her new role at GSL.

She believes it is very important in the life of a church for people of all ages to be engaged in learning opportunities. And she believes it is vital that those opportunities be varied and tailored to specific audiences. She is thrilled to be working closely with Jonathan Cole and the entire Adult Christian Education committee on what promises to be a rewarding and intellectually stimulating fall for all of us at GSL.

Anne is a member of the GSL School Board, and her husband Roane III is a senior attorney for the City of Memphis. Her child - Roane IV - is a budding cartoon artist and a 3rd grader at Grace St. Luke’s Episcopal School.
