Creating Change - Bishop V. Gene Robinson

Bishop Gene Robinson is a hero of mine. Not just because I'm an Episcopalian and not just because he was the first openly gay Bishop in the Episcopal church (or any very large church for that matter), but mostly because he's a truly great Bishop! He does all of the things you'd want your Bishop to do...and he show off! I suspect most of the great things he does most people don't even know about. Despite being thrust into the media spotlight - he's not someone who goes after it.

I always enjoy hearing him speak and have had the privilege of interacting with him during a few of his trips to Michigan. I thought his speech at the conference was good - but one of his best to be honest. I felt given the audience he could have gone further and done more with it... However, it's still a very good speech!
