From Bishop Carolyn

Good people of Utah:

The Holy Spirit swept through the House of Bishops this morning giving us the vision and the courage to elect Katharine Jefferts-Schori as our next Presiding Bishop. To other explanation is needed or possible.

I have never been so proud to be part of this Church. "That which has been cast down is being raised up..." It took the courage of our two houses over many years to raise up minorities, Gene Robinson, and Bonnie Anderson (the new President of the House of Deputies). It is truly a new day.

We will, at the same time, continue on the way Christ prepares for us, generation after generation, from the past and into the future.

Pray for Katharine and for the whole Church!

Faithfully, Carolyn+
