Who replaces Bishop Kirkland as Ecumenical Officer? I have a few suggestions :-) QED

Bro. Dickens I believe that the Office of Ecumenical and Urban Affairs may move to one of the overseas Bishops. The council meeting in June may be the time that decision is finalized. Which Bishop, my guess, is Bishop Norris (don't put to much stock in it as I guessed Bishop Talbot for the First).

Blessings to you all!!
