Pics of Kirkin' o' the Tartan, Phoenix, 18 Nov 2008

[Retro Red]

Spartan gave a very fine sermon explaining the history & significance of Kirkin’ o’ the Tartans, the consecration of the first Bishop of the American Episcopal Church on November 14th (the reason for having the service last Sunday) & the close ties of the American Episcopal Church to Scotland. Unfortunately, I don’t have a picture of Spartan delivery his sermon, as I thought taking a picture might be disruptive, but you can see him over the heads of the congregation in the upper left of the picture below.

One piper turned towards me to get his picture taken…

And some more pics… As you can see from our somewhat washed out faces in some of the pics & our squinting eyes, Phoenix sunshine is intensely bright! It may have been the middle of November, but personally, I was getting too warm standing out there & was glad to get to my car & doff the PC jacket. Our high Sunday was 83ºF / 28.3ºC & we set a record high temp Monday of 87ºF / 30.6ºC !!!








Finally, a decent photo of me in my formal attire…




A beautiful day (in the neighborhood) & a wonderful service. Thanks for the invite, Spartan!

Th-th-that's all folks!
