From From Wade McClay in Maine:
Grandmere,
Thought you might get a kick out of this picture of Bishop Lane (Maine) and Bishop Robinson (New Hampshire) with our previous Bishop, Chilton Knudson, watching over them! It was taken during a break when Bishop Robinson visited the Cathedral here in Portland.
We did an Integrity Eucharist during our Diocesan Convention and a candle-light march and vigil from St. Patrick's in Brewer to the State Street Bridge in Bangor where a young gay man, Charlie Howard, was murdered for being gay in 1984.
I've also included a picture of the vigil on the State Street Bridge. Gosh I'm proud of my Diocese!
Please cross your fingers and if you can manage a prayer today for us to win marriage equality at the polls it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for sending this, Wade. I have prayed, and I shall continue to pray throughout the day for the vote on marriage equality in Maine today. Readers out there in the ether, please pray also.
Wonderful picture. Thanks Wade. That's such a great picture of +Chilton and the two men look like they're having a great conversation. I too am proud of my diocese. I voted and I'm praying.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Grandmère, I fear we need all the prayers we can get. The Mormon and Catholic Churches have pulled out all the stops and are advertising the most preposterous lies about what will become of anybody who doesn't agree with the "Gay Agenda", though I'm still not certain what they mean by that, most of us only want to be left alone to live our lives.
ReplyDeleteI'm convinced that your prayers and the prayers of your readers will help us. Thank you so much.

POSITIVE Thoughts and HOPE for Maine today!
