God Bless the +Rt. Rev. Dr. Everett Brown (APCGS - Archdiocese of Christ the King)
God Bless the +Rt. Rev. Bishop Ken Price Jr. (Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio)

[Fish and Bread]

God bless Robert Ihloff and John Rabb, the bishops of Diocese of Maryland (ECUSA). I was confirmed by a visiting bishop from another diocese, so I didn't get a chance to meet either of them during my time here, but I developed a lot spiritually under their very indirect spiritual care. I'd throw in my future bishop's name (Diocese of Arizona) and the name of his assisting bishops, but I don't recall them. Ironically, I do remember the name of the puppet my future bishop apparently uses to teach small children about church matters. Lel, want to help me out with the actual person's name? ;)

[Mysterium_Fidei]

God bless the Rt. Rev. Michael Curry,
The Rt. Rev. Gloster,
The Rt. Rev. Marble,

Bishops of the Diocese of North Carolina

[Inge87]

God bless my Bishop, the Rt. Rev. Jack Iker of Fort Worth, and also
the Rt. Rev. James M. Stanton of Dallas.

Grant them the strength to keep on with the good fight, and the wisdom to protect and guide their flocks through a world filled with danger.

[Lel]

God bless the Rt. Rev. Kirk Stevan Smith, Bishop of the Diocese of Arizona, and the Rt. Rev. William Burrell, Assisting Bishop of the Diocese of Arizona.

[romaneagle13]

God continue to bless Bishop Herbert Thompson (Diocese of So. Ohio), who received me into the church and with whom I had a wonderful conversation after the service. I truly saw Christ when I looked into his eyes.

Gob bless our Bishop Suffragan Kenneth Price, who celebrated our Christmas Mass last year and was very complimentary.

[PaladinValer]

God bless +V. Gene Robertson
God bless +John Shelby Spong
God bless ++Griswold
God bless ++Peter Akinola
God bless +++Rowan Williams ((someone missed a "+"))

Since this is supposed to be a "tension breaker," I'd think it'd be only fair for us to swallow our pride and name even those we disagree with, to which I've given at least two.

[ebia]

On a slightly different tack (I assume this is acceptable), God bless +Peter Connors (Catholic) Bishop of Ballarat.

[holyshe]

god bless The Right Reverend Keith Newton SSC
Bishop of Richborough. for his upstanding character and hard work
god bless The Right Reverend David Thomas
Provincial Assistant Bishop, Church in Wales. for his excellent work within the church

God bless ++Griswold
God bless ++Peter Akinola
God bless +++Rowan Williams ((someone missed a "+"))

God bless them... :crossrc: :) :amen:

[holyshe]

you are supposed to put your own ones in!! no quote others.... i am sure there must be other bishops you know by name who could do with being bless?

[PaladinValer]

In these times, our bishops need as many blessings as they do, I'd argue.

And since all are alive in Christ (especially since death has no more power, let's remember)...

God bless +++St. Augustine of Canterbury :)

[holyshe]

isnt he dead?

[PaladinValer]

Death has no more power.

"Thanks be to God" :amen:

[holyshe]
