[Magdalen] VTS Chapel addendum...

[Jay Weigel]

My favorite consecration still has to be that of the late +Bob Tharp of
Knoxville, for which I was part of the choir and had a great viewpoint,
since I am short and was therefore in the front of the choir. I got to see
all the interesting parts, including (to me) the very best moment, which
was just at the start of what I always think of as the "episcopal dogpile",
where all the bishops lay hands on the one being consecrated, +Tharp
grabbed hold of the bishop of Haiti, which was then our sister diocese,
with an expression that clearly said "I'm not going in there alone!" It was
a great moment, and I was not the only one to comment on it later.
