On Saturday, December 8 I was given the opportunity to bless the union of Richard Stapler and Michael Mendez at Trinity Church in San Francisco. While I love weddings (I've officiated at well over 200) this service was special. It was my first blessing service for a same-sex couple. It was done during a remarkable weekend on which we hosted two Tibetan Buddhist monks at Trinity Cathedral in Sacramento. It was also ironic that both the blessing service and the mandala occurred on the same weekend that the Doicese of San Joaquin chose to leave the Episcopal Church.
