[Magdalen] PB nominees

[Suzie Buchanan]

I would be thrilled to have Michael Curry as our next Presiding Bishop.  I
did have a chance to get to know him a bit during my stint as a nominee for
Suffragan in his diocese.  He is as good a bishop as he is a preacher.

I wouldn't be upset to have Ian Douglas as PB.  I don't know the bishop
from Ohio.  And I would be horrified if Dabney Smith were to be my PB.  I
probably shouldn't put things like that into print, but there it is.  I do
know that he refused Gene Robinson permission to preach in his diocese.
