Dear Friends,

Mnohaya Lita to the Reverend Cantor and Reader Lance and his colleagues!

(The only thing that is "weak" about Lance is his surname!)

Dear Teen Logo,

Let me put it to you in a way that you'll understand.

It means "Ad Multos Annos!" wink

Dear Lance,

Since you are formally ordained as Reader/Cantor, is it proper for us to call you "Reverend" something or other?

And remember, we love "Lance-a-lot!"

Alex,

Lance is just fine. Reader N. is okay, but in our Metropolia we typically don't prefix names with minor orders. Reverend is reserved for deacons and up.

In Christ,
Lance

Brother Lance, et al,

AXIOS!

I look forward to the day when I can call all my Brothers, "Father Deacon"!
