Bishop Lai Rong-sin was installed at the cathedral of St. John on August 
24th.  He says that he has much to learn as he takes over responsibility 
for his diocese.  Since his consecration last October he has had to get 
used to being called "bishop" by church members and others.  Every time he 
hears the title ("Chu-chiau" in Chinese, implying he is a master or lord of 
the church) he turns it around in his head so he is reminded that he is 
onewhom the Lord (Chu) is teaching (chiau).

He says, "the episcopacy is not a set of rights and priveleges, it is a 
Holy Spirit given responsibility and authority.  A bishop must humbly and 
purely serve his people from his heart."
