The Episcopal New Yorker Spring 2013 : Page 12Installation New York’s New Bishop Members of the diocese filled the Cathedral of St. John the Divine on Saturday, February 2 to witness and participate in the “Recognition, Investiture and Installation” of our new diocesan bishop, the Rt. Rev. Andrew M.L. Dietsche. All photos: Kara Flannery At the central moment of a service remarkable both for the beauty of its liturgy and for its outstanding music, those in attendance watched—directly or with the assistance of two strategically placed screens—as Bishop Dietsche grasped the gilded crozier held out to him by Bishop Sisk and solemnly promised to observe, and to the utmost of his power fulfill, “the responsibilities and obligations of this office.” The new Bishop of New York was then escorted to the Cathedra by the Dean, the Very Rev. Dr. James A. Kowalski, and took his seat in the chair that is the symbol of his office. 12 THE EPISCOPAL NEW YORKER Spring 2013 www.episcopalnewyorker.com Our New BishopPublication List |
