I’m pretty sure the lady in the green jacket in the 2nd photo is the Episcopal Bishop of Washington.

Sounds like a pretty cool event!

this always reminds me of that scene in Dogma where they find out the priest is such a jerk he would bless his own golf clubs.

Obviously none of the bikes I’ve seen on the streets lately were there, otherwise they would’ve been screaming and thrashing and vomiting.
