He is a retired bishop, who I believe on one occassion assisted with an ordination at a non-TEC church.<BR/> To be honest, I've been out of TEC for four years now, come here because I like the tone of Rev. Russell's blog and it is near my old childhood home of La Jim of L-Townhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03941398804273985677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21609676.post-38006432303529776622008-03-12T19:58:00.000-07:002008-03-12T19:58:00.000-07:00Jim (from Michigan)If our hostess permits it, a pr...Jim (from Michigan)<BR/><BR/>If our hostess permits it, a preamble and then a question. <BR/><BR/>I understand that the 'orthodox' think the law is important when applied to the likes of Bp.

Cox (who is well into his 80s) could only come away with the impression he was a very godly and humble man.<BR/> He and his lovely wife host a healing service that has brought comfort and relief to thousands.<BR/> I have never heard Bp. Cox say a negative word about anyone,Jim of L-Townhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03941398804273985677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21609676.post-51973763401837783522008-03-12T14:06:00.000-07:002008-03-12T14:06:00.000-07:00It brings me relief, but no joy or gladness to see...It brings me relief, but no joy or gladness to see things reach this stage.
