Bishop Smith

A week ago I had the kind of adventure that only comes with being Bishop of Arizona. I was invited by one of our priests, Richard Morrison, to fly with him in his small plane to the Hopi Reservation to visit the Hopi Mission School. For a while I have been toying with the idea of getting my private pilot's license, and so having the chance to fly with Richard (a former Navy fighter pilot) was a good test of my interest.

A Final Thought

If you haven't seen any of the great cartoons of Dave Walker yet, then you are in for a treat. Now comes word that he will be the "official cartoonist" at the upcoming Lambeth Conference. If he can help us to laugh at ourselves, then his presence will be most welcome.

To the best of my knowledge, every single church, mission, and preaching station within the Episcopal Diocese of Arizona now has (at least) a very basic website. Please go to www.azdiocese.org/map/list.html and check your church's website and its posted information and let me know of any changes that need to be made.

If you encounter any communication problems, please report it to me at greta@azdiocese.org.
