House of Bishops to work in Louisiana and Mississippi

The Living Church reports on the shape of the House of Bishops' September meeting.

“A group from the planning committee will work with Archbishop Williams and me to determine the format of the time we will have together,” Bishop Jefferts Schori wrote. She said that the formal part of the meeting will begin with the Holy Eucharist on the morning of Sept. 20. Archbishop Williams will depart the afternoon of Sept. 21.

Bishop Jefferts Schori said she has invited the primates’ Standing Committee and the Executive Committee of the Anglican Consultative Council (ACC) to join the meeting. “They will be with us during our time with the Archbishop of Canterbury,” she wrote, as well as for “work and missionary days” in the dioceses of Louisiana and Mississippi scheduled for Sept. 22-23. “These groups will have their own (private) meeting on Monday.”
