Tomorrow our choir will be singing as the Presiding Bishop of the American Episcopal Church comes to our church. Unfortunately, we will not be with them, as we are currently some 1300 miles away and are too sick to sing anyway.
It's true that the circumstances save me from the potential of actually meeting the PB and having to say, something like, "Pleased to meet you." I have some serious quarrels with this particular Presiding Bishop, thanks not only to her opinions and policies but to specific offenses given to dear people we know.
Still, I have problems with President Obama, too, and yet would consider it an honor to be asked to sing at the White House. It's a matter of "saluting the uniform, not the man."
Resurrection Choir friends, we miss you, are sorry we're not with you, and wish you the best tomorrow!
