A joyous day! The new era which began with our new rector's arrival in June has now officially begun. It might seem odd that the "institution" (some have been calling it "installation") doesn't come right on a new rector's arrival, but it certainly worked today. The pomp and ceremony helped us see that the bond between the parish and the rector has already been forged. When the Bishop of New York said "greet your new rector" we applauded, applauded, applauded, everyone was beaming.Thursday, September 06, 2018
