Too tired to say too much.<BR/><BR/>BTW I was listening to a local radio (WNYC NPR in NY) call in the other day and I am fairly certain that Bishop Katherine called in.<BR/><BR/>She did identify herself by Bishop and Katherine, no last name. The host did not seem to have a clue, but I felt like her voice was familiar (I have heard her on the radio before) and she spoke with great compassion and authority.<BR/><BR/>It was just weird. I was like - am I the only one who knows who she is?Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181529277715646835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36914208.post-18068723976683878432007-11-15T18:37:00.000-05:002007-11-15T18:37:00.000-05:00Who am I to argue against TWO PRIESTS?

You are missed when gadding about, though I am glad you got to visit the home state (I am a Fresno native and thank you for ignoring ecclesial matters there). Thanks for reporting on the ordination and all your visitin'.<BR/><BR/>Yes, the BCP calls it an ordination because the person is being ordained to the episcopate. We are ordained to each several order as the case may be. I have always felt a certain revulsion toward using the term "consecration" for bishops as though they and their order were any more special than the rest of the Baptized. They get puffed up and proud easily enough without encouragement. It may be the word used in the recent (several centuries to me is recent) past but the baptismal theology of the current BCP tries to set us all back in the context of our primary identity as children of God.

Now I am all nostalgic for California and corn tortillas (though happily we have some very nice immigration here in NC which has improved the food situation) and by the way, I think Hank and Sherry are some of the most beautiful people I have ever seen and I am glad they smudged. The people at A Certain Website, or rather, now that I remember, one of their friends who likes Bob Dylan, has referred to some of the liturgical ministers at Reverendissississima Katharine's installation (or whatever you call it) as "smudgeons" - and I will leave it to you to comment on how inappropriate that term is in six different ways. Is it only holy when it's Anglo incense? (Which isn't Anglo anyway.) Oh my, Auntie Jane is about to have the vapors. Back to you, bro. Glad you had a good time (it sounds a bit like the first part of my trip to Europe, bopping around seeing many beloved people) and sorry about the sniffles.<BR/><BR/>P.S. I love Reverendissimo Silvestre Romero. He ordained my friend Melanie (who is now canonically in DioCal but started out in El Camino Real) and I remember her diaconate and his warm manner as if it were just yesterday.Jane Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13814517077774999407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36914208.post-61971127736467898272007-11-14T22:41:00.000-05:002007-11-14T22:41:00.000-05:00Grandmére Mimi, I agree with you, but the rite inv...Grandmére Mimi, I agree with you, but the rite involving a deacon becoming a priest is called an ordination, and the deacon is already ordained. The folks in El Camino Real called it an ordination as that is what the rite is called in the Book of Common Prayer ( <I>The Ordination of a Bishop</I>, page 511). So, you and I will call it a consecration and others will call it an ordination and the bullies at Certain Blogs will call it a travesty.Padre Mickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07580459577853346369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36914208.post-70455945032274034252007-11-14T22:35:00.000-05:002007-11-14T22:35:00.000-05:00Padre Mickey, I believe it is a consecration, beca...Padre Mickey, I believe it is a consecration, because the bishop is already ordained.
