Sad News from Northern Michigan


+Jim Kelsey, Bishop of Northern Michigan
1952 - 2007

As reported yesterday by Episcopal News Service and noted on Walking With Integrity, the church lost a shining star in Bishop Jim Kelsey who was tragically killed in an automobile accident returning from an episcopal visitation on Sunday.

+Jim's visionary ministry advocating for the full inclusion of all the baptized into the Body of Christ touched lives far beyond his Diocese of Northern Michigan and witnessed the deep authenticity of his commitment to TOTAL Ministry. We grieve his loss today as we give thanks for the blessing of his life and witness and for his companionship on the journey.

May his soul and the souls of all the departed, through the. mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen
