Vespers

The Campus Ministry team at St. Ambrose University (where John has professed botany for 25 years) invited him to officiate and preach at a special vespers service today, to formally recognize his priesthood and ministry. There's a lovely reception planned afterwards, too.

I was pleased by all of this, but imagine my surprise when the team invited me to co-officiate! They said, "We want to see a woman in a collar around here." So, we've prepared our suffrages and collects and it will be great to lead a service together -- even if some folks won't know what the heck to call me...
