We went to a funeral this morning for , I found out, a very intresting, cool and impressive guy: Bishop Robert Spears. Marched with Dr. King across the Pettus Bridge in 1965. Started what was the first Gay and Lesbian ministry anywhere with in the Anglican Communion. Was an important part in getting the first women ordained in the church. Big in the anti war movement, on an on. Standing on the shoulders of giants indeed.
I snapped this pic ( no one saw me) before the funeral started. AND, very rare for a yankee funeral, there was yummy food at the reception, including some killer rosemary and pine nut short bread things that the organist had made. I will have to get the recipe.
