Greetings from a member of the Episcopal Church in the U.S.A.! This was simply stunning. Please make something similar regarding the U.S. presidential race so we can momentarily forget how painful that process is, too! :-)

ReplyDeleteI got this from colleagues in New Zealand and I'm sure colleagues in the Diocese of New York are going to make this viral after I've posted it. I watched it five minutes ago and I'm still laughing. Totally excellent.

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!! With best regards from Sweden!
