 At 11:00 a.m. (Pacific) today, the Diocese of California will receive its eighth bishop, the Rt. Rev. Marc Handley Andrus, in a recognition and investiture service at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco. Many will gather from around the Diocese, with visitors from throughout the Episcopal Church and the world. Overflow seating is still available in Grace Cathedral's Gresham Hall, where two large screens will provide a close up view of the liturgy, and participants will share in the Holy Eucharist. A reception will follow the service, and tickets for the reception can be purchased at the Cathedral ($30 for adults, $25 for children).
If you are not able to attend the investiture service at Grace Cathedral you can watch a webcast of the service at www.GraceCathedral.org. The webcast will be available beginning at 10:30 a.m.
O God of unchangeable power and eternal light: Look favorably on your whole Church, that wonderful and sacred mystery; by the effectual working of your providence, carry out in tranquillity the plan of salvation; let the whole world see and know that things which were being cast down are being raised up, and things which had grown old are being made new, and that all things are being brought to their perfection by him through whom all things were made, your Son Jesus Christ our Lord; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. (Book of Common Prayer, p. 515)
