  1. Archer_of_the_Forest says:

    Oh, Statmann is going to have a field day with this one, particularly the first candidate’s asinine statement that New Hampshire is “happily…not following the trend.”

  2. Archer_of_the_Forest says:

    I also enjoyed the second candidate’s sob story about the priest introducing him to Nietzsche.

  3. Archer_of_the_Forest says:

    And…wait for it…the final one is gay.

  4. Pb says:

    All three seem qualified for the job by TEC standards. The third has the inside track.

  5. David Wilson says:

    There are no persons of color and two-thirds of the candidates are male. I hope there is a petition process to rectify these shortcomings

  6. C. Wingate says:

    What does it mean that the gay fellow is the only one who isn’t a divorcee? And where’s the woman with the patrician hairdo and the bald guy with the goatee?

    Nice pin the lady is wearing. Looks like two” mommies” and a child.

  8. Statmann says:

    Archer: I am not sure that I should have taken the bait. Penny+ was a disappointment. Was hoping for a closer Irish fi t like Maureen O’Hara but the hauirdo didn’t make it. Her years at St Francis have been “flat” with no change in Money, but than $600K ain’t bad. Bob+ is a good family man and his years at Grace also have “flat” with Money but that is about par for W Mass. And then along came Bill+. Trinity has taken a big decline in Money and ASA, but then he is just one of several clergy. After ++Gene the Dio may (?) want to change their luck, My money is on Bob+ with Penny+ a close second. Statmann

  9. Randy Hoover-Dempsey says:

    “Will you who witness these vows do all in your power to support these persons in their life in Christ?”
    “Will you seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your neighbor as yourself?”
    “Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being?”

    Doesn’t resonate. We use the 1928 BCP.
