“I sometimes find myself in need of a light,” said the Rt. Rev. Kathryn M. Ryan, Bishop Suffragan, West Region, in her sermon at the Opening Eucharist Rite II for the 171st Diocesan Council. She shared how a couple of summers ago, she spent the night in her one-person tent. She set it up, gathered with friends for a campfire and for a short walk. So far from the city’s lights, she headed back to her tent, but couldn’t find it. She didn’t have a flashlight and her cellphone was dead; thus, she found herself wandering in circles. She could hear the howls of coyotes; she was in total darkness and became a bit fearful. She could have used a light!
