The Dean, that is, Clergy-person appointed by the Bishop to
be in charge of a convocation is given the title, “The Very Reverend.” At our
recent convention, Father Whit’s term as Dean of the Monroe Convocation expired
and Father Thomas Nsubuga of St. Luke’s in Grambling was named the new Dean.
You will notice that Father Whit’s title is now “The Reverend,” once again. So,
the next time someone asks if Father Whit is reverend, you can honestly say, “Yes,
but not very!”
