“Patsy spoke to us, as we gathered as bishops’ spouses at the 2008 Lambeth Conference in Canterbury, England. She spoke, with tears running down her face, of God’s call to her husband, Todd, to return to Madagascar as a bishop. God’s call to Todd was, inevitably, a call to Patsy, too. But Patsy couldn’t see what she would have to offer God, until God reminded her of the story of the widow’s mite. Patsy was to offer whatever she had, however inadequate it felt. God would know its value and how to use it.Tamana describes how Patsy came to be just where God needed her and her gifts. But also how, in the generous, humourous love of God, Patsy realised that she was being given what she needed, as she offered what she had. Patsy describes the poverty, the illness, the sheer effort of life in Madagascar without sentiment. But she also describes the riches of love, interdependence and community.”Dr. Jane Williams, Tutor in Theology, St. Mellitus College, London and Chelmsford, and wife of the former Archbishop of Canterbury.
