    As an American of the Democratic persuasion, I hope you’re right about the upcoming presidential election . . . and fear that you’re right about the division of the country.

Having been a bishop since 1969, he saw and influenced the entire modern story of the Scottish Episcopal Church. Where to begin with memories? The time I sat…
