wow...that would be a pretty sweet party...
Okay, I know which words to use, but what gestures. I was embarrassed two summers ago when the bishop showed up at our parish and I choked. Caught between deciding to throw myself prostrate before him or simply bow, I forgot to say "excellency" and just said, "Hey!" and shook his hand.
rob...LOL!
I met the Archbishop a couple years ago and I don't recall if I ever actually addressed him at all. It was after he installed our Pastor. If I did address him it was likely by his title - Archbishop - but I really don't remember at all. He may have greeted me first.
I just love it...'HEY!" :-)
Rob - LOL!
