After receiving the report from the Committee on the Resignation and Ordination of Bishops, the 96 bishops with jurisdiction received their ballots to vote on the approval of Lawrence Provenzano as Bishop Co-adjutor for Long Island. After a great deal of milling around and a report from the Prayer Book Committee on as one bishop called it "The Inflation of the Liturgical Calendar", Bishop Katherine asked for a special order to announce the results.
After announcing his receipt of 96 affirmative votes, Bishop Walker and Bishop George Councell escorted Bishop-elect Provenzano to his seat on the floor of the House of Bishops and after applause, the liturgical calendar discussion resumed. He is seated and working.
It was a joy to see Bishop Walker and Bishop-elect Provenzano sharing a good man hug.

I am sure Bishop Walker need his rest. Wish him the best of taking a back seat. We continue to pray for Bishop Elect Provezano. Keba, Pretoria, South Africa.
I am planning to be with you from 08 to 12 August. I hope that is okay with you.
