Your Community is Your Church

Benjamin P. Campbell has been a champion of racial reconciliation, social justice and ecumenical activities in Richmond. His work forming Richmond Hill, an ecumenical residential retreat on Church Hill, and with various boards and anti-poverty initiatives has earned him a place among the Ben Campbell respected movers and shakers-black and white. Campbell was instrumental in forming the Richmond Slave Trail, recently transitioned out of the top position at Richmond Hill to help faciltate the next generation of leadership. Wherever there has been a community conversation or event on building bridges between racial and economic groups in the Richmond area, Ben has likely had a hand in it. “Community transformation is what Christianity is about, as far as I’m concerned,” he said. Ben Campbell is an Episcopal priest; adjunct pastor at Richmond Hill, and a pastoral associate at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church downtown.
