First Bishop of South Dakota might be added to the church's calendar of Holy People!

This is from the Blue Book of the upcoming General Convention of the Episcopal Church. It is a .pdf file, and you have to scroll around a bunch, but check out the proposed church calendar commemoration for May 17th - Bishop William Hobart Hare!

May his missionary Christian faith be rediscovered and reclaimed throughout the church.

Really? I have not heard this good news. I do need to sit down and read the editions to LFF that is being proposed. If they are all as good as Bishop Hare, this could be great.

Upon further review...I read through it all to see whom was being added...I am actually impressed. I was skeptical when I heard they were doing a massive addition to the Lesser Feasts and Fasts. I was afraid they were going to add a bunch of nutters.

There are a few additions that raised my eyebrows, but its overall a solid group of Christians. Quite a few Eastern Orthodox ones as well. I am actually pretty excited after the first read through of some of these fine saints.
