The Right Rev. Stephen Andrews, bishop of the Diocese of Algoma in Canada, gave the sermon Saturday and lauded Sumner’s tenure at Wycliffe College, noting that Sumner would probably play down his achievements.
“But I also know that you won’t begrudge the shameless institutional plug of your Episcopal college,” Andrews joked.
Sumner gave a thumbs-up from his seat.
Andrews said the diocese is in for an exciting new chapter in its history thanks to Sumner’s unique combination of pastoral and administrative talents. He added a small caveat, though: Sumner is a devoted Boston sports fan.
“If it comes down to the finals, you cannot count on his support,” he said.
