The Reverend Paul D. Twelves, a former rector of St. Peter’s Church in Glenside, recently died after a brief illness.

Reverend Twelves was ordained an Episcopal priest in 1954 and went on to a nine-year interim ministry in churches in transition between rectors following his service in Glenside, his obituary said.

Churches served during this period are St. Alban’s, Syracuse, NY; St. Stephen’s, Columbus, OH; St. George’s, Dayton, OH; St. John’s, Lynchburg, VA; St. Paul’s, Kansas City, MO; St. Matthew’s, Bedford, NY; and Grace Church, Amherst, MA. After retirement he did part-time interim ministry in Rhode Island, serving St. Alban’s, Centerdale; St. Martin’s, Providence; St. Paul’s, Portsmouth, Church of the Messiah, Providence, and St. Michael’s, Bristol.

He also served as a consultant to congregations in transition, his obituary said.

A memorial service will be held at a time to be determined at All Saints Church in Chelmsford, MA. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Planned Parenthood or checks can be made out to Planned Parenthood Federation of America and mailed to P.O. Box 97166, Washington DC, 20090.
