Our bishop visits!

Today Bishop Greg made his visitation to St. Antony's. What I noticed was how much he enjoyed it! He seemed to genuinely enjoy being with us, speaking from the heart, baptizing Benjamin, and confirming Aaron. I think he loves parish life and the contact with people.

I was glad we had such a welcoming response for him and Archdeacon Gen. I think we were ready and receptive for his visit. It felt natural and unforced.

I especially appreciated the bishop's endorsement of me as vicar. At each service, he made a point to put his hand on my shoulder and say that he's glad I'm here as vicar. That's very encouraging.

I hope to have photos of the day to post soon.
