I <heart> Bp Griswold! I was fortunate enough to be at GC in '06 when they roasted and toasted him as his 10 year term ended - complete with a performance by "Friends of the Groom" a religious performance group out of Cincinnati who wrote and acted a skit about him which was touching and wonderful.

I remember a tribute to Bp. Frank Griswold at one of our diocesan
conventions that involved roasting him about his wordy catchphrases,
like "...to be in conversation about living into what it means to be
church..." I cringed, but he and his wife were in hysterics.
Apparently he was well aware of his oratory mannerisms and loved the
parodies.
