We are sad to hear of the passing of The Rev. Harwood Woody Bartlett, who passed away on September 21, 2020 at 86 years of age. Among his many roles in the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta and in the greater Atlanta community, Woody was instrumental in making the "Episcopal Charities Foundation" a successful ministry in our Diocese. We are grateful for his service to ECF, and strive to continue his legacy in our work!
