New Presiding Bishop Elected

As some of you may be aware, the House of Bishops have elected the Right Reverend Katharine Jefferts Schori as the 26th Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church and the House of Deputies has confirmed. This was a historic event that I felt privileged and honored to be apart of and I am sure the rest of the deputies felt the same. The energy and enthusiasm in the house today was overwhelming and you could definitely feel the outpouring of the spirit.

I would invite your prayers for our new Presiding Bishop. If you are interested in learning more about her here are some links:
