Now this is a good picture

Here’s a fantastic photo of the consecration….

 This came right before they all laid hands upon him and said the ancient words: “Therefore, Father, make Gene a bishop in your church….”

    Great picture, Nate! As if it was taken by the Holy Spirit about to descend . . .

    Warning: Slightly cynical comment ahead from bitter Roman…

    Shouldn’t there have been someone bouncing that awful Dove-on-a-Stick above the ordination as it happened?

    In seriousness, though, a zoom in camera lens for a moving Gods-eye shot would have been neat too

    There was a Dove-On-A-Stick! But only in the procession…. *grin*
