The Episcopal Church of Utah’s 11th bishop ”” Canon Scott B. Hayashi ”” is a minister who will clearly get to know his church members.
That’s what has impressed the Most Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori, the presiding bishop and primate of the 14 countries that make up the Episcopal Church, about the new Utah religious leader.
“I think the Diocese of Utah has chosen a wonderful priest,” she said in an interview Friday afternoon. “I look forward to great things.”
“…presiding bishop and primate of the 14 countries that make up the Episcopal Church.” Come on: some of those “countries” she’s supposed to be primate of have only one TEC congregation in them. It rather sounds like a small-town airport declaring itself “international” because of one flight weekly from Toronto.

I certainly don’t like the sound of that.
