From Wisconsin-
The chief pastor of the world's 2.4 million Episcopalians will be in Milwaukee this weekend to take part in the Episcopal Diocese of Milwaukee's annual convention, which begins Friday.
Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori will meet with clergy in the morning at St. Thomas of Canterbury Church, 2755 W. Grange Ave. in Greendale, before leading one of the convention workshops in the afternoon at Milwaukee's Italian Community Center in Milwaukee.
About local 300 members are expected at the convention, where the diocese, among other things, passes its annual budget.
Jefferts Schori was the first woman to head a province in the 77 million-member Anglican Communion when she was elected Episcopal primate in 2006. She has led the U.S. church at one of its most tumultuous times, fielding criticism from more conservative provinces in the Anglican Communion for its more liberal stands on homosexuality, gay clergy and other social issues.
