Clergy Figures ...

I have perhaps met more religious figures than most clergy or religion

editors. I have photographed popes, archbishops, patriarchs, noviciates,

rabbis, seminarians, deacons, and televangelists. I am drawn to such

figures for reasons I cannot readily explain no matter what religion or

faith they may officially represent. Here then are just six of my clergy

images I took during the year of 2oo5 at America's capital of

Washington, D.C. and at England's capital of London.

Episcopal Minister Catherine Young

Episcopal Church at Washington, D.C.

Episcopal Priest Richard Carver at The Epiphany Parish
at Washington, D.C. with his assistant minister

His Excellency, Bishop Bernard Longley,
Catholic Auxiliary Bishop of Westminster

Bishop Tom Butler of the Anglican
Diocese of Southwark

The Anglo-Catholic Archbishop of the
Order of St. Mary at the Shrine of Our
Lady of Walsingham

I will shortly add a few more clergy figures that I

have photographed such as the old rabbi at the hidden

Fez Synagogue at Fez, Morocco; the Evangelical

Lutheran head pastor at Torshavn Cathedral in the

Faroe Islands. And my favourite clergy figure of

them all is Father Alexander Sherbrooke, who feeds

the homeless every Tuesday night with his wonderful

volunteers at Soho Square's St. Patrick Church in

London. Father Alexander is worthy of being a bishop,

in my considered opinion, and thus he would then

become another true Prince of the Church. Plus, Most

Rev'd Patrick O'Donahague, The Bishop Of Lancaster.

Bravo!!

UPDATE: Now see my post of Oct. 9th, 2oo7,

for the images of the above-mentioned clergy ...
