Bishop Receives a Gift of `Mercy' for Christmas

Bishops, in church-speak, are supposed to be the good shepherds who look out for the flock. But in South Dakota, it seems one of the sheep is looking out for the shepherd. Episcopal Bishop Creighton Robertson found the new kidney he desperately needed from one of his priests, the appropriately named Rev. Mercy Hobbs. The story can be found on the South Dakota Diocese web site and Robertson's journal from the transplant recovery center can be found on the caringbridge site here (enter "bishoprobertson").
