Former Episcopalian Bishop Ordained
John Lipscomb, formerly the Episcopalian bishop of Southwest Florida, was ordained priest this week in Florida. Here's an article from the local press. I met John a few weeks ago when priests ordained under the pastoral provision all met in Tampa on retreat. We connected because he too was brought up as an Evangelical. His father was a Baptist preacher. Both of us went through Anglicanism to the Catholic faith. John is married with two grown children. Congratulations John!

Congratulations!
For the Church, Father's ordination is more than a laginappe, but a real blessing!
He goes to my parish! How cool is that? I dind't even know this until our pastor put it in this week's bulletin. He will be saying his first Mass next weekend at my church. Very, very awesome...
Welcome! May God richly bless his ministry. He has already blessed us with his presence.
