ECUSA Presiding Bishop: It's a girl!

Idea for title shamelessly stolen from this blog. Apparently there are some who have their panties (er, briefs? boxers?) in a wad about the Episcopal Church electing a woman to lead the church in the U.S. Bishop Election Upsets Episcopal Diocese (really, this is just *sad*) Bishop Jack Iker of the Diocese of Fort Worth, Texas, read a short statement from the floor of the Episcopal General Convention, asking Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams to put the diocese under the oversight of another Anglican leader. Here's an article from the Episcopal News Service about the new Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori. Prior to ordination, she was a visiting assistant professor in the Oregon State University Department of Religious Studies; a visiting scientist at the Oregon State University Department of Oceanography; and an oceanographer with the National Marine Fisheries Service in Seattle. She is also an active, instrument-rated pilot, who has logged more than 500 flight-hours. More about the new Presiding Bishop, and other news about the General Convention here.
