Connections and Coincidences
Shortly before my employment at the Diocese I was employed at the United Congregational Church in Holyoke, where the late Bishop Robert Denig was consecrated on February 20, 1993. Being a Presbyterian, I knew nothing about this, of course.
In April of 2011 Bishop Scruton’s office received a request from Dr. Albert Webb, a member of the UCC to obtain a copy of the videotaped Denig consecration for the UCC’s Archives. At that time nothing had yet been organized for our Diocesan Archives, but I happened across some old videotapes when we were cleaning out closets, and there it was---the VHS of Bishop Denig’s consecration!
Al Lehmann, a member of the UCC who works at WWLP offered to duplicate the consecration tapes and even transfer them to DVD format if I would loan him the tapes. This we did, and Al was generous enough to make some extra copies of the DVD format, which Bishop Scruton presented to Mrs. Robert Denig in September when she visited him here at the Diocese.
