Thank you for providing the recording of Bishop Austin's consecration. Congratulations and blessings to him! Kudos to all who planned this beautiful, festive, spiritual, multi-cultural, multilingual, musical ceremony, especially beginning with the land acknowledgement and ending with the lion dance - a wonderful recognition of the Chinese in San Francisco and throughout California. Well done! 👏🎊🎉✝

It was beautiful! Did I also notice some Mandarin at the very beginning at the baptismal font?

1:41:40 I tried really hard to keep myself from tearing up during Bishop Brian Lee Cole’s sermon, but by the end, tears fell down my cheeks and into the (verger) vest that I was wearing.

sounds as if u chose the most dissonant and ugliest pieces possible. too bad, there was a decent congregation present, and nice hymns and service music was available n the episcopal hymnbook. what a shame.

Do you refer to the hymns and choral music?

[@shannonaxe]

What a shame is your miserable attitude… praying you find self love and self respect. Every song was perfect and wonderful, repent in Jesus name

@@shannonaxe Also, most works sung were from the hymnal plus a TAize chant was used. There was a fine balance of choices for this service.
