Letter to the editor: In fairness

Notes: "Reading Charlotte Hobb's letter [March 2014, p. 6] brought back memories of my wife Ann's journey toward ordination. Harry Hobbs was our rector at that time; Ann was a lay reader; Charlotte and Judy Paulsen (Davis then) were members of our youth group. Certainly Harry was against the ordination of women, but he was also fair-minded enough to recognize that others felt differently and to support Ann in her journey. In fact, he even took her to see the bishop in her quest to become a postulant. Eventually Ann was ordained and served in the dioceses of Ottawa and Toronto as well as in the Anglican diocese of Cyprus and the Gulf. Ann has advanced Parkinson's disease and is in long-term care now. She asked me to write this to be fair to Harry's memory". [Text of entire article.]
