Episcopal Diocese of Bethlehem Bishop Paul Marshall, right, lays hands on Southern Moravian Church Bishop Graham Rights as bishops of the two denominations symbolically recognize each other's orders of ordained ministry during the Feb. 10 evening Eucharist inaugurating the full-communion relationship between the Episcopal Church and the Moravian Church in North America. Bishops of the two denominations then exchanged places as they repeated the recognition prayers. The service took place at Central Moravian Church in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
