[Magdalen] How to view Presiding Bishop Installation Service

[James Oppenheimer-Crawford]

Jay, you may not have noticed, but several people on this list are not
members of tec.

Bishops are an anachronism we don't need anymore, and it is a bit of a
surprise to me to think that folks have any qualms with that.  Numerous
folks have expressed profound reservations about the wisdom of having
significant power resting in one induhvidual who may or may not know how to
handle it.

I was brought up to refer to all ministers as Mr.,  and nobody ever really
made any overt changes in that.
We would never refer to Mr. McClean or Mr. Fitzgerald or Mr. Smith or any
of the other ministers in my church as any of that popish "father" title.
It's not an appropriate term in any case. Not today!

You do not need to agree with me, and I respect that.
