Another New Episcopal Assignment
I'm off caroling outisde with kids and playing sound tracks instead of my preferred grand piano, and naturally, Rock is all over the new archbishop of San Francisco. With my luck, some other bishop will be named while I make merry at the staff Holiday party tonight. (Sorry, folks, if it's not after sundown on the 24th, it just isn't Christmas.)
"I'm going to proclaim the good news of the church for the right, left and center."
Sez Niederauer in San Fran.
Mahony likes him a lot; that can't help but cause dismay in St Blogdom. The common cry around here is for bishops with spine. When I read that phrase I often have an image in my mind of a sea urchin with one spine left standing. Somehow I think Niederauer and Sample are true vertebrates. Which are a great improvement over either echinoderms or flatworms. Evolutionarily speaking, that is.
