The Rev. Eugene Rivers, a prominent Protestant street minister, said O'Malley delivered "an extraordinary and inspiring address."


Guests are seen Wednesday, July 30, 2003, through a wall design during the installation of Bishop Sean O'Malley as the new archbishop of Boston at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston.

BTW, Eugene Rivers is a very interesting guy. He was raised a Black Muslim but rejected his upbringing for Christianity.

He attended Harvard as an undergrad and went to Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary.

He is a fervent Evangelical and runs a program against teen violence which is no touchy-feely Kumbaya seminar but a fire-and-brimstone, get-right-with-God crusade which some cops say has helped reduce violent crime in inner-city Boston by 17%.

This preacher isn't some Spong-style joker.
