[Magdalen] Prayer Request

[Lynn Ronkainen]

Jay, I have followed this semi-closely, partly because the last election was 
not so long ago and I wondered why that bishop stepped down, retired, or is 
bishop-ing elsewhere. A priest from Dio TX, and Lane Denson's (of beloved 
memory), friend Lisa Hunt+ was a candidate on that go-round.

This time I know one of the candidates personally -  Lance+, who graduated 
from Sewanee in '01 and was a transitional deacon at my home parish 
following graduation. He has been in Dio Olympia (WA) for a number of years 
and this is his second 'candidacy' for Bp in less than 2 years (and his 
brother is Bp or Dio Eastern MI).  That old, 1-degree-of-separation 
Episcopal world all over again.  I have heard of Frank Logue but the others 
are unfamiliar to me. It will be interesting.

single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything You gave me."
