From Missouri (with video)-The Episcopal Diocese of Missouri has a new leader and it's a choice that's making history.
Reverend Deon K. Johnson was ordained Saturday as the 11th Episcopal Bishop of Missouri.
He is the first black, openly-gay bishop in the diocese's 179-year history.
“To find ourselves in this moment, the ancestor of a slave, to be called to be the Bishop of Missouri – God is good!” Johnson said during his ordination service. “To the people of Missouri, we have a whole new story to tell and a whole new boldness to tell it with. So I look forward to the adventure.”
