Officially Anglican

I've been an Anglican for a while, but on January 14 I received the apostolic rite of confirmation. This was actually my second confirmation. I was confirmed in the United Church about a lifetime ago, but the UC doesn't have bishops, so I did it again, this time with a bishop. Did I ever think I would join an episcopal church? Nope. Never. But somehow it happened. This is me with the Right Reverend Donald Phillips, Bishop of the Diocese of Rupert's Land, and Rev. Dr. Cathy Campbell. The Bishop's hat (or as wikipedia calls it, "traditional, ceremonial head-dress") is called a mitre.

Cathy is the author of an amazing book about food and justice called Stations of the Banquet. While I'm linking to books, I'll let you know about another amazing author, Rev. Sharon Moon. Sharon was my minister when I lived in Ottawa and attended First United Church. She is awesome. I keep meaning to send Sharon a copy of Cathy's book and give Cathy a copy of Sharon's book. It's on my list of things to do, but pretty far down.
