The annual Bishop’s Levee was held at St. James Cathedral on Jan. 1 – the first for Bishop Andrew Asbil as the diocese’s new Bishop of Toronto. The event included a Eucharist, a ringing of the cathedral bells and an opportunity to share New Year’s greetings with the diocese’s bishops and chancellor and their families. The receiving line was followed by festive music, a choral Evensong and the presentation of the Order of the Diocese of Toronto.
