Another First

Thirty years after the Episcopal church first allowed women to become priests, the church has elected a female presiding bishop. Congratulations go to Katharine Jefferts Schori, who will become the first woman to head any Anglican denomination worldwide.
Jefferts Schori holds degrees in divinity, oceanography, and biology. She will begin her term in November.

Wow, the "Church" is finally recognizing that woman are an ASSET and not a LIABILITY....
IMPEACH CHENEY FIRST
IMPEACH ARBUSTO NEXT
I am excited for a fellow sister to be reckognized for work in such an important spiritual post.
Too little too late, but better than nothing..
As an Episcopalian, I'm extremely happy about this. We've been consistently more progressive than many other protestant churches, which reflects my values.
