Holy Spirit credited with choosing gay bishop

"I believe the people of the diocese, by the grace and power and influence of the Holy Spirit, went beneath skin deep, went beneath the superficial characteristics and boxes into which we put people to really look at individual people," said the Rev. Canon Mary D. Glasspool, 55.

Others would dispute whether these are the appropriate attentions and dispositions of the Holy Spirit. But since nobody's ever caught one and stuck it in a bottle, there's little point to bringing it up.

The sentence reads just as well, if not better:

"I believe the people of the diocese went beneath the superficial characteristics and boxes into which we put people to really look at individual people," said Glasspool.
