RNS-CLERGY-STUTTER

The Rev. Gerald McDermott, an Anglican priest who preaches at a Lutheran church on Sundays and teaches religion at Virginia’s Roanoke College during the week, also considers himself more approachable because he once stuttered badly, and still stutters occasionally. McDermott is photographed here at the christening of his fifth grandchild, Phinehas McDermott.
