[2] Edgar attended Wheaton College from 1982 to 1986, majoring in physical education and winning a conference title in the 200 yard Butterfly as a significant member of the Varsity Swim Team.
From 1987 to 1992, Edgar served in campus ministry roles with the Coalition for Christian Outreach at Grove City College and as a residence director at Wheaton.
[3] In 1997, Edgar was called as rector of St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, where during his tenure average Sunday attendance rose from 175 to nearly 500 and $3.4 million was raised for a parish hall and classroom expansion.
In 2016, the PEARUSA Southeast Network dissolved and Church of the Apostles joined the Anglican Diocese of the Carolinas, where it was designated as the diocesan cathedral and Edgar as dean.
Edgar stated that his goal would be to accelerate church planting in the diocese, especially in the metro Charleston area, which has seen substantial population growth.
“I’m delighted to be ordaining her.”[7] Edgar's first year as bishop was dominated by the denouement of the long-running legal battle between the ADOSC and the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina over properties valued at $500 million.
[11]) Edgar and EDOSC Bishop Ruth Woodliff-Stanley, who had been consecrated in 2021, began mediation to discuss a resolution to the disputes between the dioceses in spring 2022.
“This settlement agreement allows us to invest our diocesan energy, time, focus, and resources in gospel ministry rather than litigation," Edgar commented.
"While the losses we have experienced, including those of St. Christopher and several of our parish buildings are painful, I am grateful that the work we have done has brought an end to litigation between our dioceses.
