Today in the Episcopal Church we commemorate Henry Budd, who served among the Cree in Western Canada. who died in 1875. An orphan, the date of this birth is unknown, he is the first person of First Nation ancestry to be ordained priest in the Anglican tradition.

         shine 

         forth, 

         you 

         who 

         are 

         en-

        throned 

        upon the cherubim.

 

Grant that 

his example 

may call us 

to reverence,

orderliness 

and love
