| In Memoriam: The Rev. Dr. James P. Wind |
"Today I’m giving thanks for the life and ministry of the Rev. Dr. James P. Wind, a stalwart figure of this Cathedral who died on Thursday, May 22. I had the privilege of sharing Communion with Jim just hours before his death. Jim was a towering figure of both the Cathedral and the world of American religion. He was a scholar, a thought-partner, a leader, but most importantly he was a trusted friend and a wise counsel during his years of service, both to me and my predecessors."
