  • For the Library: scans of the letters from the Rector Bp Williamson, most of the letters from 2000-2001. I'll post more as I get around to it. Save any discussion for another thread.
    "Be you therefore perfect, as also your heavenly Father is perfect."
    "Seek first the kingdom of Heaven..."
    "Every idle word that men shall speak, they shall render an account for it in the day of judgment"

  • I just read the second page of that first one, and what a better one to start with. He predicted the future.

  • Remember these are all in a 4 volume book form, these found in Vol. 4 The Winona Letters Book Three In the Letters from the Rector Series


























    And a bonus from Bp Fellay I found in the stack of papers.

    Ah, I think the envelope stuffing was one aspect of the STAS experience that I had somehow blocked out.  Thanks for the reminder.

    I vaguely recall the stuffing sessions to be one of those occasions when beer would be available. Am I remembering correctly?
