Bishop Henning on Interconnectedness in Rhode Island

"I have received much friendly and sometimes amusing advice from longtime residents of Rhode Island. I frequently hear advice about great restaurants and beautiful parks and beaches. Many have explained their antipathy towards bridges - a factor that was, until recently, a mystery to me.

"Others have joked about Rhode Island's 'two degrees of separation,' a riff on the common expression 'six degrees of separation.' While the remarks have often been tongue in cheek, I have indeed come to appreciate how interconnected we are in our beautiful little state. . . ."

In a recent commentary, Bishop Richard G. Henning, the bishop of the Diocese of Providence (RI), reflected on the blessing of the interconnectedness of the Rhode Island community.
