On Sunday 30th January at 9.00am, the Most Revd Dr Katharine Jefferts Schori, Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church of the USA, will preach at the Sung Eucharist in Christ Church Cathedral (please note the earlier time).

Dr Jefferts Schori is in Ireland attending a conference of the Primates of the Anglican Communion which is being held at the Emmaus Retreat Centre in Swords, Co. Dublin.

Speaking of the bishop’s visit, the Dean of Christ Church Cathedral, the Very Revd Dermot Dunne said “It is truly a delight and a historic moment for the cathedral to welcome Dr Jefferts Schori who has done so much for the Anglican Communion in areas of minority inclusion”.

Jefferts Schori is the 26th Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church of the United States. Previously elected as the 9th Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Nevada, she is the first woman elected as a primate of the Anglican Communion in the United States. Dr Jefferts Schori was elected at the 75th General Convention on June 18, 2006 and invested at Washington National Cathedral on November 4, 2006. She took part in her first General Convention of the Episcopal Church as Presiding Bishop in July 2009.

This is the value of just faithfully 'showing up' at these kinds of gatherings around the Communion, no matter how marginalized we may feel. Many are sending us messages that TEC is supported widely around this fractious Communion of ours.
Pay attention GAFCON!

Amen Bishop Epting.

Woody Allen had it right.

It's true in the communion and its true in Ecumenism too.
