[Magdalen] Episcopal election

[Marion Thompson]

In this Diocese we are having an election in September for, count 'em, 
three (!) suffragan bishops to fill vacancies that have arisen for 
various reasons.  Be all that as it may, I feel extraordinarily honoured 
to have been asked to nominate one of the candidates.  This particular 
candidate is in a longtime and public same-sex relationship and has two 
lovely little children with his partner.  I don't know how it will turn 
out for him, but I pray that he may be the new face of the church along 
with some of the other nominees.  Interesting times!
