Hip bishops
Has anybody ever had a hip bishop? We just moved to Mississippi and our new bishop is 30 years old, has a faux hawk, and wears sketchers to church. I don't know much else about him, but he's off to a good start in my book.

While a member of a University of Utah student ward, I had an outstanding bishop. He emphasized ward activities that promoted unity and a spirit of fellowship. For example, we had twice monthly ward temple outings that included dinner at Cafe Rio (or similar) that he paid for out of his own pocket. Not surprisingly, the average attendance at the temple outings was approximately 50. The music was also inspiring and inclusive - the ward included members of the Utah Symphony and Temple Square Orchestra. We had a Stake Music Chairman who organized and directed the highest quality LDS music I have ever experienced for Stake Conferences, Christmas Firesides, broadcast LDSSA devotionals, etc. She would have the first two rows of benches in the chapel removed to make room for the orchestra. I understand the SP facilitated her calling to the Church General Music Committee.

I had an african american bishop in one of my wards and he said the following phrase to me as he was extending a calling: (in a deep, deep voice) "Our ward has a hell of a lot of problems and I am looking to you to help get those problems fixed." I don't think I have ever been extended a calling in a bishop's office where he used a swear word. I was impressed.

LOL my ass IL...YOhio is just jealous because all of those things he said about me are true and he just can't handle my too-hot-to-handle-ness. Let me tell you, it was something to see in having a Hip bishop and a Hip congregationalist (me!)
And on a sidenote--I don't buy anything on sale...if it is on sale, it means that it is worthless and that article of clothing is at the end of its road. I only buy the newest and the most expensive. Last edited by UteStar; 08-01-2007 at 03:59 AM. |
