Christmas Bishop
Author: first_name: Winifred M.

Language: English
Year: 1913

This 1913 story is far more than a Christmas tale.  It is a story about spiritual wisdom; the seeking of wisdom, the getting of wisdom, even when the seeking and the getting is obscure.  Henry Collinton is an 81 year old, widowed, Episcopal Church bishop.  The story opens on the morning of the Bishop’s last Christmas and ends with his death that night.  We see him encounter four to him important people throughout the day, three friends and the Nazarene, the Christ, he has followed all his life.
