It's really quite stunning to now be facing the fact of Archbishop Rowan's transition away from the Chair of St. Augustine of Canterbury, a position he's held in such a crucial period of my own life in the Church: namely the 'beginning of the end' of my vocational discernment process, then seminary, then ordination, and then my first cure.
So in the name of grieving Abp. Rowan - of which there will be more here, I feel certain - not to mention honoring his ministry and presence and leadership among us, I wanted to save and share this link to his final New Year's message. More to come soon...
