From East Carolina-
The Episcopal Church’s responsibility is to help heal the world, said The Most Rev. Dr. Katherine Jefferts Schori.
Schori made a stop in Jacksonville at St. Anne’s Church Saturday afternoon as part of a tour of the Diocese of East Carolina to speak about “The Episcopal Church as a Community of Welcome and Radical Hospitality,” and moderate a conversation with those in attendance.
“We really understand that the alter is God’s table,” she said. “And going out and sharing what we know about God’s love with the community and the people we encounter — that sending is what mission means. Love our neighbors and help heal God’s world.”
Schori was elected Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church in June 2006. She serves as Chief Pastor and Primate to The Episcopal Church’s members in 16 countries and 110 dioceses.
Schori’s trip began Friday at Christ Church in New Bern then moved on to Trinity Center at Pine Knoll Shores Saturday morning before she arrived in Jacksonville.
At Trinity Center she met with 25 area middle and high school age youths during a Sound to Sea program, where she called on her own background, which includes a Ph.D. in oceanography, to discuss the environment.
