[Magdalen] He whose name must not be mentioned

[Ginga Wilder]

Exactly.  Good Shepherd does not use the BCP PoP, so I spoke with the chair
of our worship committee today to make sure that Donald Trump will be
prayed for by name at every appropriate Sunday worship service (some don't
have PoP).  She said she was already working on that.  I also asked her to
add a prayer for our country at regular intervals.  I cannot imagine not
praying for President Trump and the country.
