The Ordination of James Donald Gordon
December 14, 2011
| The Church is quiet, the altar is set. |
|
|
|
In Palen Hall, our Hospitality Committee prepares a feast and decorates the tables as the video system for the Guild Room is tested. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| The Farolitos are lit to greet all. The early evening calm will soon give way to a solemn and joyous celebration. The symbols of Jim's calling are ready. The Altar candles are lit to Aaron Copeland's Fanfare for the Common Man. |
 |
|
|
|
| The Procession begins. Incense and music fill the air. Banners wave. Bishop Vono and the presbyters are ready. |

At the Lord's Table |

After the service, while Father Jim offered prayers and unction to the throng at the rail... and a glimpse of a very special moment with Andi |

 |
others partook of the feast prepared in his honor. |

May We Present Bishop Michael L Vono, Andi Shapiro Gordon and Father James D. Gordon |
