From Ft Worth-
Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori, the first female presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church, will be in Fort Worth this week with other national Episcopal leaders.
She will speak at 7 p.m. tonight at Congregation Beth-El, 4900 Briarhaven Road. The event is sponsored by the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth and TCU's Brite Divinity School.
Jefferts Schori will also preside at meetings of the Executive Council on Wednesday through Friday at the American Airlines Training and Conference Center, 4501 Texas 360 South.
"The Executive Council is the major governing body of the denomination between general conventions," said Katie Sherrod, director of communications for the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth and an elected member of the Executive Council.
Bishop C. Wallis Ohl, provisional bishop of the 24-county Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth, and other diocesan leaders will host a reception for the 40-member Executive Council on Thursday night at Theatre Arlington. It will be followed by a dinner next door at the Arlington Museum of Art.
Members of St. Alban's Episcopal Church who have remained loyal to the U.S. church have been meeting at Theatre Arlington since 2008. They had to find another meeting place after a majority of St. Alban's members joined Bishop Jack Iker and other Fort Worth-area Episcopalians in voting to leave the Episcopal Church three years ago.
