There is good news. Circulating with this week’s e-News is a photograph of the primate, Archbishop Shane Parker, from a recent meeting of the Diocesan Council. At that same meeting was the newly-confirmed (and just retired) Gisele McKnight holding a mock-up of her first-ever issue of the NB Anglican from more than a decade ago. Under her guidance the Anglican was several times voted the best Christian newspaper in Canada. Finally, from last Sunday, a photo shows an endearing ginger cat - now named Mark - surveying the scene from the pulpit in St Mark’s.
