Earlier this week, Rev. Mary Glasspool, Canon to the Bishops in the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland,, cleared the final hurdle to being confirmed as Bishop Suffragan of Los Angeles.
As soon as the news was announced, the Bishop of Maryland and his staff hastily convened a service of thanksgiving and prayer. Mary, who delivered the closing benediction, choked up as she thanked us all for coming on such short notice, and she led us in a round of applause for her partner of 22 years.
Mary is a dear soul whom I have come to know a little through the midweek contemplative Eucharist at Baltimore's Cathedral of the Incarnation. While I will miss her warm smile, prophetic preaching voice, and heartfelt singing on Tuesdays, I wish her all joy and success in her new post.
