We Have A New Presiding Bishop

Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori.

I don't know enough about her to make an informed statement about her new roll, but I am hopeful. There are voices within the church, that I respect, who appear to think that optimism and joy are the best responses.

Unfortunately, this will also set off some on the right wing of the church. However, many of them appear determined to be upset, so let there anger be directed at the gall of our church for selecting a woman to lead. A battle we first fought 20 years ago.
