Arrival Of Bishop Adds To History Of Frontier Town
The Rt Rev Howard R Brinker Bishop of the Nebraska Diocese flew into Sidney to conduct services and preside at confirmation at Christ Episcopal Church on Sunday morning. His visit echoes the frontier era when Bishop George Allen Beecher rode the plains by horse and buggy. Traveler bishops now reach Sidney by Frontier Air Lines from Omaha in three to four hours, a far cry from earlier weeks covering the same distance. The current pastor The Rev Charles Fred Parks was baptized and confirmed in this church.
