Bishop's Reflection on HOB Meeting PDF  | Print |  E-mail

by the Rt. Rev. J. Michael Garrison, Bishop of WNY

tb_garrison2.jpgMore than 150 bishops of The Episcopal Church and their spouses recently gathered in New Orleans, Louisiana, for the fall meeting of the House of Bishops. We were joined for a significant period of time by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev. Rowan Williams, and the majority of the members of the Joint Standing Committee of the Anglican Consultative Council and the Primates' Meeting. As well as dealing with Anglican Communion matters, we spent time with the people of the Dioceses of Louisiana and Mississippi as they continue to recover from the devastation visited upon them more than two years ago by Hurricane Katrina.
