About Deacon David

My name is David B. Keim. I am a deacon of the Antiochian Archdiocese, attached to All Saints Orthodox Church in Raleigh, NC. I was ordained in October 2004 at the hand of His Grace, the Right Reverend ANTOUN, Bishop of Miami and the Southeast.

I have one wife, Shamassy Larissa (a/k/a Shell), and six lovely children. In my professional life, I am an attorney, practicing law in-house for a large software company.

I have law degrees from the Marshall-Wythe School of Law at the College of William and Mary (LL.M., 1992) and Regent University School of Law(J.D., 1990). I have an undergraduate degree from Gardner-Webb University (B.A., 1987). I am currently in the third and final year of the St. Stephen's Course in Orthodox Theology.

I am especially interested in the liturgical life of the Church and the ministry of the deacon. Most of my contributions to OrthodoxWiki center on these themes.
