Sharing a picture

This is from the gathering of bishops at the GAFCON in Jerusalem! Awesome. I remember a bishop once telling me that his impression of a Lambeth Conference is that the only thing holding the Anglican Communion together is the finery from Wippells (an English Church goods company). If you look closely, however, you see a variety of clothing: low church rochet to high church cassock and biretta. A few seem to be in suits. Perhaps not everyone got the memo on what to wear.....

This location is on the Mount of Olives overlooking the old city of Jerusalem. Every tourist group coming to the Holy Land gets their photo taken at the spot.

If you click on the photo to enlarge it, Bishop Keith Ackerman of Quincy (my bishop protector) is second from the left in full High Church apparel!
