You will also notice at the bottom of the page (Oregon Trail Churchman, Volume 45, December, 1968, Number 4) an article on Rusty Kimsey's election to Executive Council. The article notes that Bp. Spofford's election and consecration paved the way for the EDEO's future Bishop Rustin Kimsey's nomination and election to Executive Council. What does the editor state is unique about Rusty's election? This must have been a vibrant time in the missionary district, as only a year later, we became the Episcopal Diocese of Eastern Oregon. Feel free to share any thoughts or memories of life in the MDEO/EDEO in 1969-70.
In honor of Rev. Bell's consecration in Bend, this month we are looking back at the EDEO's fourth Bishop William Spofford's consecration on January 25, 1969 in Ontario, Oregon. Bishop Spofford's consecration was an important event in the history of the MDEO/EDEO. You will notice that I also included a list of the service's participants and overnight accommodations. Can you tell us the historical significance of Bishop Spofford's consecration? The answer to this question is in the article. Also, please share any memories you have from this day.
