From Utah-
The Rev. Canon Scott B. Hayashi has special ties to Ogden, and his good feelings toward the city are a big part of why he was interested in what will be his new job.
Hayashi will be installed Saturday as the 11th bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Utah.
Hayashi served as the rector for the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd in Ogden from 1989 to 1998.
"I really enjoyed being in Ogden," he said. "It was such a wonderful period in my life to be the rector."
He described Ogden as "a big city you could get your arms around," and he named a number of government officials and families with whom he made friends while he was the Good Shepherd rector.
"These were just solid sorts of individuals," he said of his friends while living in Ogden. "There was a whole group of people that were solid."
The father of three said his youngest child was born while he served in Ogden.
Hayashi said Saturday's festivities will be a bit rare for Utahns to see. There have been only 10 such events in the Utah diocese's history since 1867.
