The Rev. Lennon Yuan-Rung Chang, who has served as rector of Advent Church on the campus of St. John’s University in Taipei, is the VI Bishop of Taiwan, succeeding the Rt. Rev. David J. H. Lai, who has led the diocese since 2001.

The world of The Irishman is a deeply moral one, with a strong sense of retribution and justice, but without much hope of reconciliation or redemption for its central characters.
