It's a Girl!

This afternoon, on the fifth ballot, the House of Bishops elected Katherine Jefferts-Schori, the Bishop of Nevada, to be the 26th Presiding Bishop. After many stirring voices urging support, the House of Deputies voted overwhelmingly to support the election. I'm off to get champagne, and will have more details later.

I've got to say she's pretty awesome. She is a CDSP alum AND Trustee so I've met her a few times. Very thoughtful, with great gifts that the Church needs especially now. My friends in Nevada will be sad to lose her!

Glory be! The Episcopal Church continues to lead the way!! We continue to be the modern day Sam Adams, George Washingtons and others who led the establishment of this great country.
