One More Thing to Like About Our New Presiding Bishop

From Sarah Dylan Breuer in The Witness magazine:

… Katharine Jefferts Schori is not just the first female Primate of the Anglican Communion; she is a bishop who believes with all her heart that a church of empowered laity living intentionally into Baptismal ministry just might change the world, and that in itself could be revolutionary.

I first caught a glimpse of that conviction in her on the day we met in 2002, on the first day of meetings at the Camp Allen retreat center of the Diocese of Texas for the expanded 20/20 Task Force.   … [A] fellow team member was asking her how she preferred to be addressed. “Call me Katharine,” I recall her saying; “my Baptismal name is my highest title.” …
