He believed they needed to be made an example of. They were Jews like him, but who followed this new-age guru called Jesus. A man from Nazareth, who cursed fig trees, spit on people’s eyes to heal them, and rode a donkey. They were saying he was God, the Most High. This had to be stopped. It was a perversion of the faith, a distortion of Scripture, and would lead many young people astray.

Suddenly he heard a voice which knocked him right off his horse. Well, the Bible doesn’t actually mention a horse, it just says he was thrown on the ground — it was the painter Carravagio who made us think he was on a horse. But I like to think he fell off a horse, because I’ve fallen off horses dozens of times in my life, so I identify with Saint Paul on this. I know that in addition to going blind, he probably had the breath knocked out of him and perhaps badly bruised his shoulder. But there is just this one small difference between us. I fell off not because of the voice of God, but because my horse behaved badly. Each time I picked myself up out of the mud and the stinging nettles and trudged off through the rain to find the horse. Then I got back on and gal- loped off again. Paul, on the other hand, and this may be another small differ- ence, sensibly walked the rest of the way. Led, perhaps, by that kind man with the wrinkly forehead who had caught his horse for him.

No “still small voice” for Paul – God obviously thought he needed a fairly dramatic hit to get the message. We can only imagine how Paul felt about God’s call, because we aren’t told.

Cutler, bishop of the Diocese of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island has been elected as the next Metropolitan of the Ecclesiasti- cal Province of Canada, succeeding Archbishop Percy Coffin who is retiring in June 2017.

The Archbishop-elect grew up in Montreal, Quebec, where he attended pri- mary and secondary school. He graduated from McGill University with a B.Th. He was ordained deacon on May 17 1981 and Priest on November 1 1981, both in the diocese of Central Newfoundland. He served as rector of the Parishes of: Twillingate (Twillingate, Newfoundland), Smith’s Sound (Clarenville, Newfoundland), Trinity Church Sydney Mines with St. Peter & St. John Baddeck (Cape Breton, Nova Scotia) and St. John the Evangelist (Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia). He has also ministered as a Regional Dean and an Archdeacon.

He was elected the Diocese of Nova Scotia and Prince Ed- ward Island on May 23 2008 and consecrated on June 29 2008.Bishop Ron was elected Coadjutor Bishop on November 22, 2013 to succeed the Rt. Rev. at her retirement on March 31st, 2014. He was installed as Diocesan Bishop of the Diocese of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island on May 6, 2014.

In a statement to the Diocesan Times Archbishop-elect said, “I am honoured to have been elected to this position and look forward to working with the leaders of the Ecclesiastical Province of Canada. All of the dioceses in the province are con- tending with significant changes to the culture within which the church ministers. The provincial structure explicitly provides an opportunity for pooling the resources and skills found in the seven dioceses, to address the needs, hopes and concerns of people in Eastern Canada with the Good News of the gospel. The church at the Pro- vincial level must take seriously the same challenges that the church at every other level is facing: we do not exist for the maintaining of a structure, instead our goal is gio shows?
