Proceedings At that 1908 Council, the Bishop expressed his need for help. He asked for an archdeacon to serve in the Diocese and asked a Council committee to explore the possible election of a bishop coadjutor. Some things occur again and again in the Diocese of Virginia. He received his bishop coadjutor the next year, when Arthur Selden Lloyd was consecrated. Bishop Lloyd served for only a year before he accepted a full-time ministry at the Episcopal Church headquarters in New York City and it was four years before another coadjutor was consecrated in Virginia. History records that Bishop Lloyd wanted to remain as bishop coadjutor of Virginia, working part-time, while he held his New York position in mission for the general Church but Bishop Gibson, the diocesan bishop, would have none of that proposal. Family life is often intertwined with church life in Virginia and one can imagine the conversations between Bishop Lloyd and Bishop Gibson, especially when one remembers that Bishop Lloyd’s daughter married Bishop Gibson’s son. Your three bishops have developed an excellent and effective working relationship. Bishop Jones continues his good work with missions. Bishop Johnston has jurisdiction over the deployment process and he and Lindsay Ryland are working together in helping churches navigate the transition between rectors. A transition affecting me comes from the requirement of the canon law of the Church that bishops and other clergy resign when they turn 72. The 2003 General Convention enacted a new canon that requires diocesan bishops to resign three years after the consecration of the bishop coadjutor in their dioceses. Those dates coincide for me so I will retire no later than May 2010. Last Sunday, at an evensong at St. James’s Church, Richmond, celebrating the life of Martin Luther King Jr., the celebrated Norfolk State University Concert Choir sang that beautiful old spiritual “There is a balm in Gilead.” It speaks of what I have experienced in this last year. Sometimes I feel discouraged, and think my work’s in vain, But then the Holy Spirit revives my soul again. If you cannot sing like angels, if you cannot preach like Paul, You can tell the love of Jesus, and say, ‘He died for all.’ It is the abundance of God’s love for all that we proclaim. You and I may not have the gifts either of the angels or of Paul, but all of us can tell the abundant love of Jesus and demonstrate by our lives and our words that he died for all. As I move around the Diocese, I rejoice in the signs of that abundant love. Congregations are nourishing their young, caring for the disabled, celebrating the sacraments and in all things, preaching the Gospel, all out of a love for the Lord Jesus Christ and devotion to his coming kingdom. It is an encouraging time to be serving the Church in Virginia, especially when we focus on the positive rather than on the shadows that may accompany us. My prayer for the Diocese in this coming year is that we can navigate our differences with grace, support those Episcopalians who have been abandoned by the majorities in their congregations, increase our support for the ministries we share and emphasize the mission of God’s abundance that unites us more than any effort of darkness that seeks to overcome us. May God continue to bless and prosper the Diocese of Virginia. The president then introduced clergy new to the Diocese. The Diocese of Virginia t Journal of the the 213 th Annual Council 75
