Episcopal Church installs new bishop in solemn ceremony


From New Hampshire-

The state's Episcopal Church formally installed its newest spiritual leader Saturday, as Rev. A. Robert Hirschfeld was ordained as the next Bishop of New Hampshire.

“There's something as wonderful and amazing as the welcome, and that is the unique gifts that I've noticed in the Diocese of New Hampshire in each of you that I've met,” Hirschfeld said. “We are more than the sum of our parts here today.”

In a consecration ceremony that combined centuries-old rites with optimism for the future of the Episcopal Church in New Hampshire, Hirschfeld assumed the office of Bishop coadjutor.

He will serve in that capacity through the last months of the tenure of Bishop V. Gene Robinson.
