Well, the date is set and all that is left to do is pass my final interview with the Commission on Ministry next Wednesday, which at this point shouldn’t be a problem.
So, June 3rd at 10:00 am at Trinity Cathedral in Cleveland, Lord willing and the creek don’t rise, I will be ordained to the Sacred Order of Priests, a Presbyter in Christ’s One Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church (aside from the fact that certain large segments of that Church don’t recognize Anglican Orders. Oh the joy of it all!). I will be ordained along with the Transitional Deacons, one year after my diaconal ordination.
I regret that my ordination will not be at St. Paul’s in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, where I now serve, but if I want to be ordained before General Convention, this is what has to happen. The next two months are going to be crazy, and I do hold a bit of anxiety about what will happen after General Convention.
