If Arlin were still with us, I'd be telling him that the Rev. Neil Lebhar used to be an Assistant to Bishop Howe, when Bp. Howe was Rector of Truro. Neil left in 1989, to go to Redeemer. It was Neil I called when my Mom died in the very early AM of Jan. 23rd, '88 and I'll never forget his compassionate words to me, nor the meaningful verses he read, and the sound of his comforting voice.
Truth be known, I've been expecting this.
And more yet to come..........
I say "good for them." Of course, if they have a loser Bishop like Bishop Ohl in Texas, they'll be kicked out.
But that's not so bad! Our church is out and we're growing like wildfire ---- disaffected childhood Episopalians are coming out of the woodwork to pray in a school gym!
