\n“I remember visiting Louisville as a kid for family gatherings, but my memories of those visits are incredibly fuzzy. So, when I learned that a friend of mine from New York had accepted a call to serve as Rector of an Episcopal parish in Louisville, I made a point to make a trip down there for his formal institution by the Bishop of Kentucky. Here are some photos from my trip.”<\/p>\n
