Lutheran appointed

Notes: "In a historic move, the Anglican diocese of Rupert's Land has appointed a Lutheran pastor -- the Rev. Paul Johnson -- as dean of the diocese and incumbent of St. John's Cathedral in Winnipeg. This is the first time that a Lutheran-Canadian pastor has been appointed dean in an Anglican cathedral in Canada. A dean is the priest in charge of a cathedral and occupies a senior position in a diocese. Johnson begins his appointment on Jan. 16, 2012. He succeeds Dean Robert 'Bob' Osborne, who retired last year [2010]". [Text of entire article.]
