Across Canada: A prayerful life and a sharp wit

Notes: "The Rt. Rev. Ronald Francis Shepherd, who served as the 10th bishop of the Anglican diocese of British Columbia, died at the age of 86 on Oct. 24, 2012. Shepherd left behind a legacy of 'holy and prayerful life', said Archbishop David Crawley, former bishop of Kootenay and former Metropolitan of British Columbia, in his homily. Others remembered Shepherd's sharp wit and exceptional intellect. Born July 15, 1926 in Victoria, B.C., Shepherd and his family moved back to Victoria in 1983, when he became rector of St. Matthias Parish. In 1985, he was elected bishop of the diocese of British Columbia, a position he held until his retirement in 1992". [Text of entire article.]
