The congregation answered with an emphatic “Yes!” It was one of many delightful and surprising moments in the two-hour service, which began and ended with songs written by rock groups The Who and U2. Bishop Asbil, wearing his mitre and vestments for the first time, asked the question from the chan- cel steps just before the exchange of the Peace. He was referring to the song “Michael Row the Boat Ashore,” the famous spiritual that describes St. Michael the Archangel rowing across the River Jordan to Bishop Andrew Asbil (left) and Archbishop Colin Johnson walk down the aisle after the consecration service.
