[Magdalen] Ormonde Plater/ RIP

[Jo Craddock]

Dear Friends,

It is with a heavy heart that write to inform you that, earlier today, 
retired Archdeacon Ormonde Plater died after a long illness.  Deacon 
Plater was ordained in 1971 and faithfully served the church in many 
capacities, including prison and hospital ministry, as well as the 
education and formation of deacons across the denomination.  I am 
grateful for his life and ministry and I know that he will be missed by 
us all.

Arrangements have not been finalized, but as soon as they are, the 
details will be sent to you. Please keep Ormonde and his family in your 
prayers.

/May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace.

/
Peace,

The Rt. Rev. Morris K. Thompson, Jr.
Bishop of Louisiana
