Primate Andrew Hutchison (who continues in office until the installation Monday night) came in with the winner, Fred Hiltz, to great applause from many, and polite applause from the others. Of course those whose candidate lost were disappointed, but I didn't hear any expressions of deep bitterness. The new primate said a few words including his hope that he can work to the best of his ability to hold the Church together. He is, according to others who know him, a friendly, consensus building type, not overly intellectual, but very pastoral. He said he really only knew the Church in eastern Canada, and promised to spend considerable time in the West, Centre, and North. He's a big man. He has a big job.
