of when I was on my then-church's search committee.One Sunday we visited an extremely unpretentious little church in San Antonio. We liked the way the priest drew the congregation into community during Mass, and delighted when, instead of singing, he whistled along with the hymns as melodiously as a mockingbird.

Turned out he was perfectly happy where he was. It was the Bishop's idea to try to "move him up" to a larger parish.
