Margaret Thor
I was ordained to the diaconate in June 2014. I retired in 2017 after 32 years in the Examination division of the Internal Revenue Service where I interpreted the tax law and applied it to the facts of a case. The majority of my career was spent as a manager and senior manager ensuring that those I led applied the law equitably. When meeting with taxpayers, I listened carefully to make certain that the taxpayers were heard and facts of the cases were fully developed. I then assured that the law was applied accurately to the facts. During the last GC, I served on the Rules of Order Committee. I am the chair of the diocese's COM, formerly a member of the ECMN council, and the former convener for the ECMN Commission of the Diaconate. I am an officer on the board of directors for a local area food shelf. I am also a member of the board for the Fund for the Diaconate. I am a deacon fulfilling my call to serve God in the world focusing on justice issues and to inspire others to do the same.
