My Ordination (part 7 of 7): Reception
This part is a little bit cheesy, I'm afraid. It is a recording of the speeches given at the brief reception held on the lawn of the Bryn Athyn Cathedral right after the ordination service.
You hear words from the Rev. Jeremy Simons (Pastor of the Bryn Athyn Church), the Rt. Rev. Tom Kline (Executive Bishop of the General Church), the Rev. Eric Carswell (Dean of the Theological School), plus from the four newly ordained priests, Rev. Vicentie Nobre, Rev. Scott Frazier, Rev. Mac Frazier (that's me, I'm afraid), and the Rev. Chuck Blair. Chuck has the distinction of closing out this seven part podcast with the words, "pass the ammunition"—which I guess doesn't really cap it all off quite right, but there it is. (I'm not complaining, Chuck! Just "musing"...)
So if you really want to hear a bunch of impromptu speeches, go ahead and listen to: the Reception. I hope you've enjoyed this podcast series. Special thanks goes out to New Church Audio, for providing the original recordings of this event. Next up we will get back to podcasting straight-up sermons.
