| ABUNDANT THANKFULNESS |
|
| I know it’s Lent, but I think I can give myself dispensation to say on behalf of our diocese: “Hallelujah”!
I am writing from Kanuga, where I am attending the House of Bishops, a bi-annual gathering of all my new colleagues in the Episcopal Church. The whirlwind of the consecration weekend has paused to allow me some rest and reflection with people who know much more about “bishoping” than I do.
