That is because the Archdeacon works first and foremost for the Bishop and serves the whole church. We learned yesterday from the Bishop (both St. Thomas' and St. Alban's), that the Archdeacon will soon be bouncing on to her next assignment.
That is her story to tell, but the Episcopal church is small and we all talk - so you may hear it somewhere else first.
Thanks for all you've given us Bette Jo and prayers for your continued ministry to the Church!
