The parish of Christ Church Cathedral, Whitehorse, held its annual general meeting a few weeks ago. As he had discussed with me earlier after far too many beers one evening, Dean and Rector Peter Williams told the meeting that he had selected me to be his warden. Although I think I saw mouths drop open in disbelief, no one called for an exorcism raised any objections, so I’m the guy.
The official investiture of the new vestry and other church officers took place at this morning’s service. The people’s warden was kind enough to take this photo of Dean Peter and me afterward. It took her so long to figure out how to use my camera that Peter started talking, hence, his odd expression. I, on the other hand, played to the camera throughout.
The diocese survived Bishop Stringer eating his boots, so I trust it can survive me serving as rector’s warden.
