Leesburg pastor has variety of interests

By MITCHELL STINSON Staff Writer

There are many facets to Rev. Donald Charles Lacy of the Leesburg United Methodist Church. In addition to being a pastor, he’s also an author, educator and an ecumenist. Lacy says his variety of interests are all tied together, however, with his parish being his “real anchor.” “Everything is part of the same package,” he said. “They are part with the same man.” As an ordained United Methodist pastor, Lacy has served churches across the state. He received his theological training from Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis, which granted him both the master of divinity and doctor of ministry degrees. As an educator, Lacy has taught full-time at the secondary level in social studies and English. He holds a lifetime teaching license in Indiana in these two areas, and he continues to believe teaching in both religious and secular fields is a special calling. Lacy received bachelor of science and master of arts degrees from Ball State University. As an ecumenist, Lacy has chalked up years of participation in Christian Unity and JewishChristian Dialogue at local, state and national levels. He served five years as the head of the Department of Ecumenical Concerns of the Indiana Council of Churches.

Serving at the Leesburg Church for the past three years, Lacy says he enjoys the richness . and diversity of Kosciusko County. He says the area has a blend, of resort living, industry and agriculture that makes it a premiere place to live “The quality of living here must be among the highest in the Midwest,” Lacy said.

tian community, throughout the world, is being called together so that our witness will be one to a lost and dying humankind,” Lacy wrote. “We are being called into the depths of a magnificent faith.” Some future concerns and issues that Lacy has targeted are; coming to terms with the sacredness of human life; recognizing the growth of Islam not only abroad, but here in our own community; respect for the environment; and learning to live in a world that is truly a global village.
