Subject: Lutheran pastor appointed dean of Anglican cathedral in Canada

 

 Does this say more about Anglicans or more about Lutherans, or both? Or maybe something about Rupert's Land? I've never been there. Winnipeg, Manitoba (ENI)--In a historic move, the Anglican diocese of Rupert's Land appointed a Lutheran pastor, the Rev. Paul Johnson, as dean of the diocese and incumbent for St. John's Cathedral in Winnipeg, reports the Anglican Journal. This is the first time a Canadian Lutheran pastor has been appointed dean in an Anglican cathedral in Canada. A dean is the priest in charge of a cathedral ("mother church") and occupies a senior position in a diocese. [263 words, ENI-11-0519]
