Visit to Southeast Florida from the Presiding Bishop

I know the coverage on the news about religeon has been busy lately with the United States vist of the Pope. That's nice.....I'm not Roman Catholic. I am an Episcopalian. So, it is exciting for me that the Presiding Bishop Katherine Jefferts Sciori is visiting our Diocese this week. She is the head of the Epicopal Church of the United States.

Tonight, she did a service at Bethesda by the Sea in the Palm Beach area (The church at which Donald Trump had his last wedding perfomed). Wednesday at 6:00 pm she will celebrate a service at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Downtown Miami (Across from the Omni). I will be there early. It will be followed by a discussion time.

On Thursday, I will hopefully get some "face time" when she tours the different ministries in the area. She will be stopping at my church for a bit that morning.

Overall, I hope the local television and print news report about it. We are a democratic church and it is a historic visit for us.... The last time a Presiding Bishop visited the South Florida area was in the early 1980's.

FYI: Dr. Katharine Jefferts Schori, previously Bishop of Nevada, as our twenty-sixth Presiding Bishop. She is chief pastor to the Episcopal Church's 2.4 million members in 16 countries and 110 dioceses, ecumenical officer, and primate, joining leaders of the other 38 Anglican Provinces in consultation for global good and reconciliation. Jefferts Schori was elected at the 75th General Convention on June 18, 2006 and invested at Washington National Cathedral on November 4, 2006.
