- Notes
- "The well-written article about the newly installed Archbishop Anne Germond ('Germond made metropolitan of Ontario', Dec. 2018, p. 1) described her goals and welcome stance on issues important to her, and probably to us as well, but the article was missing something important: the person Anne Germond. Nothing was said about her family (husband, children, etc.) nor her outside-of-church interests (her pastimes, what she does for amusement or enjoyment, etc.). We are all complex individuals, just as she is, too; most people relate better to others whom we see at least somewhat like ourselves, and who are more likely to understand us and whom we are more likely to understand. Adding personal elements would have made her story more interesting". [Text of entire article.]
