A Bishop’s Visit

Bishop's Visit to St Nicholas 12-3-2006 12-27-11 PM 1427x2048

So, the big visit today was a success. All the pictures are on a Flickr set here. We did go out into the neighborhood around St Nicholas to distribute shopping bags for a toy drive, and Bp. Scantlebury was a good sport about going door-to-door. We even had a couple of reporters there taking pictures for local papers.

This picture shows the baptistry of St Nick’s, with their fancy running-water font. Originally, this was an altar that was cut down and refashioned, and the worship space is completely flexible. Today, for example, all the chairs had been re-arranged to face the center, where the Advent wreath was suspended from the ceiling. Apparently, they do these re-arrangements seasonally.
