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.

As an Episcopalian, I'm extremely happy about this. We've been consistently more progressive than many other protestant churches, which reflects my values.
