Although the ongoing pandemic has continued to limit public gatherings, the event took place through the power of the internet with the Rev. Naim Ateek taking part in the ceremony from Texas, through Zoom. The Rev. Cn. Brian Grieves, who has been a staunch supporter and activist of Ateek's efforts, also joined in from California, and made the formal introductions.
With limited seating, social distancing and safety protocols in place, the Revs. Heather Patton-Graham and Malcolm Keleawe Hee of The Cathedral joined the Bishop for the service. The Cathedral's tech crew had everything set up for livestreaming on Facebook, and a projection screen was set up in The Cathedral so that viewers could see the Zoom feed with both Canon Ateek and Canon Grieves participating virtually.
