Fr. Johnson, who has been at the Church of the Good Shepherd since June,
is a graduate of Yale Divinity School and the Blanton-Peale Graduate
Institute, a center for psychoanalytic training in Manhattan. He has
served parishes in the City while maintaining a private practice as a

The Church of the Good Shepherd is an ecumenical mission of the
Episcopal Church, which has maintained a presence on the Island since
the 19th Century, when the Chapel of the Good Shepherd was erected to
serve residents of what was then named Welfare Island.
