Kootenay Contact announced the passing of three retired priests in November: The Rev. Mark Mealing, the Rev. Brock Lupton, and the Rev. James Kiddel: May they rest in peace and rise in Glory.
The Rev Mark Mealing, a contributor to The HighWay, is seen in a photograph from the November, 2012 edition that reflects, in part, Mark’s ministry in Kokanee Parish. May 12, 2012, The Rev. Dr. Mark Mealing officiated at the baptism of Estelle Juanalene Hunter-Butler. The photo might look like a typical baptism of an infant, but it records something new in modern family life.
“At St Mark’s, Kaslo, on Sunday May 12, 2012 in a happy service that looked to the future, The Rev. Dr. Mark Mealing officiated at the Baptism of Estelle Junalene Hunter-Butler, the adopted daughter of fathers Paul Butler and Joshua Hunter.”
