From Alabama-
At a recent reception for Bishop Henry N. Parsley, who steps down as head of the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama at the end of year, the Rev. Fritz Valdema, a priest from Haiti, presented him with a container of water drawn from a well near a Haitian school.
"Water never tasted so sweet," Parsley said.
Valdema and his wife, Carmel, flew in from Haiti for a surprise visit to Alabama to thank Parsley for the state's outreach to Haiti.
"It was a great surprise," Parsley said. "I didn't know they were coming."
Parsley says the five-year partnership between the Diocese of Alabama and the Episcopal Diocese of Haiti has been one of his proudest achievements as he prepares to retire next month.
