"I'm what the world considers to be a phenomenally successful man. And I've failed much more than I've succeeded. And each time I fail, I get my people together, and I say, "Where are we going?" And it starts to get better." - Calvin Trager
Thursday, April 21, 2005 Thanks to Lisa Schroeder, here are some photos from Mama Jarusa's funeral.
The procession leading to the grave. Deacons Peggy and Susan are in front. I'm with the priests in the rear. We processed singing a short distance and then gathered around the grave for the placing of the cross.
Standing at Mama Jarusa's grave. The man standing between Bishop Smith and I is the head bishop of the province ... he led the service (out of the American Book of Common Prayer).
The cross is placed on Mama Jarusa's grave.
Final adjustments are made to the cross and flowers are placed on the grave.

"Christ's example is being
demeaned by the church if they ignore the new leprosy,
which is AIDS. The church is the sleeping giant here.
If it wakes up to what's really going on in the rest
of the world, it has a real role to play. If it doesn't,
it will be irrelevant."
