Yup, we did indeed ‘steal’ the priestly blessing

At the Episcopal High School baccalaureate service last night, we sat next to longtime friends who are Jewish. Their name is Cohn.  Our bishop coadjutor gave the priestly blessing at the end.  As we were leaving, I turned to the husband and said, “That blessing was your line of work — the family business — right?” He laughed and said “When I heard the blessing, I thought ‘they stole that!’”
