THE DEATH OF DOUGLAS L. STOWE
We are saddened to announce the unexpected death of the Rev. Douglas L. Stowe of Hampton Virginia. Doug was a CPSP Diplomate in Pastoral Supervision and a member of the Chesapeake Chapter. Born in North Carolina, he came to Hampton forty years ago to become pastor of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church. Doug was visionary who expanded the church's mission by creating a parish-based clinical training program accredited by CPSP. He also founded an elementary school in the church which today has over 700 students and 100 faculty. He created Gloria Dei Ministries, a non-profit center to reach out to special needs in the community, and Sunrise House, a medical adult day care program. His church houses the largest Boy Scout and Girl Scout programs in the Peninsula area. And much more. Doug was a mover and shaker whose energy and vision will be greatly missed, more especially in Tidewater Virginia. CPSP is proud to have been associated with him, and we grieve his untimely death.
