From Western Mass.-In his final service at Christ Church Cathedral, retiring Episcopal Bishop, the Rt. Rev. Gordon P. Scruton, told worshipers it had been a privilege to serve as their pastoral leader for the past 16 years.
Worshipers from Episcopal churches across the state gathered for Scruton’s last mass at the cathedral as the bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Western Massachusetts, the bishop and his wife, Rebecca, greeted each member of the church for a heartfelt goodbye.
“It was a joy to share with people who we came to love and share our life and ministry,” Scruton said. “It was a joy to be able to say ‘Thank you.’”
Scruton described Sunday’s service at the Cathedral as a more intimate service, where some of the most devout followers came to say farewell.
