The note on the back of this photo reads "5/18, 1969", and features a recently consecrated Bishop Spofford with the Rev. (future bishop) Rusty Kimsey on the steps of St. Stephen's Church in Baker City, Oregon. I love this photo, and have been waiting for a good time to share. As we honor the passing of Bishop Kimsey, who passed away a year ago, it is important to remember his contribution to and role in the diocese. At the time of this photo, Rev. Kimsey had just been elected to Executive Council. Take a look at this month's History's Mystery for more information on Kimsey's election to Executive Council. How could either gentleman know in 1969, but Bishop Spofford and then Rev. Kimsey would represent the Episcopal Diocese of Eastern Oregon during the last three decades of the twentieth century.
