- Notes
- "Percy Coffin, bishop of the diocese of Western Newfoundland, will be installed as metropolitan of the ecclesiastical province of Canada on Sept. 18 [2014]. He succeeds Archbishop Claude Miller. Coffin was elected on the second ballot in an electronic vote by provincial synod members at the end of May [2014]. With his characteristic self-deprecating humour, he told the 'Anglican Journal' that his initial reaction was 'fear and trembling', but then he said more seriously that it was exciting to see how the election was unfolding. 'I'm a fair believer in calling, and when you have that conviction, there's a strength that comes with it in the belief that you are sustained in this by God and also by the people you work with'."
