| Summary: | Priest Father Richard L. Tolliver was born June 26, 1945 in Springfield, Ohio. Tolliver held degrees from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio; the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Massachusetts; Boston University; and Howard University in Washington, D.C. He was ordained as an Episcopal priest in 1971 and served as a rector and curate for churches on the East Coast before joining the Peace Corps. After a stint as a professor at Howard University, he became the rector at St. Edmund's Church in 1989. Overseeing a once-prominent church in a previously middle-class area, Tolliver formed housing rehabilitation and community safety organizations after his arrival. As Tolliver's leadership resulted in more than 400 homes in the area being rebuilt, crime was significantly reduced. The church opened a school for kindergarten through fifth grade in 2000. St. Edmund's success was featured in articles in several publications.
