Presiding Bishop to come to Charlotte

From North Carolina-

It isn't every day that one gets to sit down with the Boss of Bosses. But delegates to the 196th convention of the Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina will be able to do just that, when the Most Reverend Katharine Jefferts Schori, PhD, Presiding Bishop and Primate of the Episcopal Church, is to be in Charlotte for the annual convention, Jan. 20th -21st in the Benton Convention Center,Winston Salem.

The Presiding Bishop is scheduled to hold a town hall meeting with convention delegates Friday afternoon, then preach at the Convention Eucharist that same evening. She is to deliver the keynote address Saturday morning. On Sunday, she is to celebrate anniversary masses at St . Martin's Church at 8 and 10:30AM. St. Martin's marks 25 years as a congregation and 100 years in its location at 1510 E. 7th St. near Independence Park in Charlotte.

Jefferts Schori is the 26th Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, and the first woman to hold the position. She is chief pastor to the Episcopal Church's 2.4 million members in 16 countries and 110 dioceses. Elected at the 75th General Convention on June 18, 2006, and invested at Washington National Cathedral on November 4, 2006, she previously served as the Bishop of Nevada.
