Craig Eder
Associate Rector Emeritus


Criag EderCraig graduated from Harvard in 1942 and completed studies at Virginia Theological Seminary in 1944. After his ordination in 1945, he served as assistant at All Saints, Chevy Chase and as priest-in-charge at St. Thomas in White Sulfur Springs, West Virginia. In 1953, he began work on the staff of St. Alban’s School as chaplain. After his retirement from St. Albans in 1973, he served briefly as priest in charge at St. Albans and All Souls, joining St. Columba’s clergy as assistant in 1974. Craig retired from St. Columba’s in 1988, though he continued to help out liturgically and with Sunday School, parish musicals and pastoral work. In 1994, when St. Columba’s was between rectors, he served as priest in charge.

Retired but still “hanging around,” as he puts it, Craig helps out liturgically and continues to bring his sense of mischief and his deep love for God to children and seniors and everyone in between.
