| When I was appointed archbishop here back in 1997, I was reminded that my responsibilities embraced three essential ministries. First of all, I must be a teacher of the faith. Secondly, I must do everything I can to sanctify and bless the people whom I’ve been called to serve, particularly through the celebration of sacraments. Finally, I was to lead this church in western Oregon the way Jesus would lead it, as a servant. As Jesus told his disciples, “I have come not to be served, but to serve.” All leadership in the church must be servant leadership.
