On the presiding bishop's visit to Venezuela


From ENS-

The Diocese of Venezuela jubilantly welcomed in recent days -- July 15-17, 2011 -- the presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church, the Most Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori, and Province IX official, the Rt. Rev. Wilfrido Ramos-Orench. It is the first visit of a presiding bishop to the Venezuelan diocese since that of the Most Rev. John Maury Allin in the 1980s, as well as the first one since its full incorporation to the Episcopal Church in August 2003. The members of the Anglican/Episcopal Diocese of Venezuela awaited this encounter with much hope and expectation.

On Friday, July 15th, the first day of her stay, and after being greeted by the Rt. Rev. Orlando Guerrero, diocesan bishop of Venezuela, the presiding bishop had the opportunity to exchange impressions with a varied representation of the Venezuelan Church. First of all, the presiding bishop and Bishop Guerrero discussed diocesan matters, current national affairs and their desire to strengthen the diocesan partnership between the Episcopal Church and the Anglican/Episcopal Diocese of Venezuela.
