The Reverend Gary B. Manning is the Rector of Trinity Church in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. He has been in ministry together with that congregation since July, 2004. Prior to his arrival in Wauwatosa, he served as the Associate to the Rector at Christ and St. Luke's Church in Norfolk, Virginia. Manning received his M.Div. degree (cum laude) from the Virginia Theological Seminary in May, 2002. During his tenure at Trinity Church, Manning has served on a number of boards and committees for the Diocese of Milwaukee and beyond (including a nine year stint as a director for Bexley-Seabury Seminary in Chicago).
Gary and his spouse, Tabitha, share their household with their adult son, Matthew as well as their two canines, Finley and Clyde. When not doing church stuff, Gary enjoys long walks, long bicycle rides, reading, and attempting to learn to play bluegrass mandolin. He is also working on his rudimentary Spanish in hopes of another walk on the Camino de Santiago sometime before retirement.
