Agreed; will it happen? Who can say? Our interim before Fr. Cobb
arrived pretty much just kept things going without doing much in the
way of preparation. I gather the previous interim some years ago was
very effective and beloved.

We've been absolutely headed in the right direction with Fr. Cobb, or
at least facing in the right direction if not yet able to move very
quickly. He has the right model for how an Anglo-Catholic parish can
bring people in and flourish. I grieve that we won't get to do that
with him.
