Today we heard Ray Suarez, Correspondent of the Lehrer Report News Hour preach at the daily Eucharist. He spoke of our being a welcoming church, made references to his and his family’s involvement in mission trips to the Lakota Reservation and Honduras and so many of the things we as the Episcopal Church have to offer.
I have been serving on the World Mission Committee. This has been particularly time-consuming. We have been dealing with this convention’s response to B033 (the moratorium on consenting to bishop elections whose lifestyle would cause a problem in the larger Communion) and the Covenant, among other issues. On most days my day starts with committee hearings at 7am and ends with the close of committee hearings at 10pm
Is Suarez a priest? If not, I was just wondering if this is unusual.
