Thanks for the report. I must say, there are some surprises -- TWO new female bishops and I TWO (I think) Africans.How many ballots were required for the entire slate?

We will get the numbers/ballots later, but we actually have 3....that's right...3..bishops from African Soil (Rev. David R. Daniels, Jr., Rev. Paul J. M. Kawimbe, and Rev. Wilfred J. Messiah <-- I think his LAST name is so appropriate, don't you? But now that I think about it, look at the FIRST names of the other two: DAVID and PAUL......mmmmmmmm).God is getting ready to do something!!!!
