[Magdalen] Prayer Request

[Ginga Wilder]

Brian was sub-dean at All Souls Cathedral when Ginny Wilder found her way
back to church after years of absence.  He greeted her on her first day
back.  They became good friends.  Brian was one of Ginny's mentors during
this time of her journey.  E TN will be in good hands.  He's a good guy and
a fine clergyman.
