Bishop of Kansas finds true calling helping to lead Episcopal Church


From Kansas-

On the Rev. Dean Elliott Wolfe’s hand sits a gold ring with a large, purple stone.

Once at a youth soccer game in Lawrence, that ring caught the eye and imagination of a little boy. The boy was quickly disappointed when he learned the ring was worn by the ninth bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Kansas, not a Super Bowl champion.

Most Episcopal bishops have similar stories of humbleness, Wolfe said.

At a coffee shop near Coffeyville, a waitress inquired about a large gold cross hanging from Wolfe’s neck. Wolfe had just moved from Texas, where apparently even a pectoral cross is bigger.

“Now that is some kind of cross,” the waitress said, to which Wolfe responded he was the Episcopal bishop of Kansas.
