Yesterday I traveled to Seattle and had lunch with Greg Rickel, our bishop. It was the first chance we've had to meet each other, and I'm grateful he fit me into his busy schedule. We dined at the Eastlake Bar and Grill with a lovely view of the Lake Union waterfront. It was a good opportunity for us to get to know each other and share a little about our ministries.
Greg (as he prefers to be called) is obviously very aware of what's happening in the congregations of the diocese and he asked specific questions about me and St. Antony's. It's good to know that he cares about us as a congregation. Our bishop has a passion for congregational development, and he wants to see the congregations of the diocese focused on our mission. Telling the good news about Jesus, baptizing seekers, and living into our baptismal vows is what we're about. I'm glad we've got a bishop with energy, focus, and a vision for the future.
