St. James celebrates 250 years


From Connecticut-

On Jan. 15, St. James Episcopal Church will begin a yearlong celebration of its 250-year history of service in Danbury.

Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori, the presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church, will celebrate the Eucharist and preach at the 10 a.m. service at the church, 25 West St.

Jefferts Schori, former bishop of Nevada, is the 26th presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church's 2.4 million members in 16 countries and 110 dioceses, ecumenical officer and primate, joining leaders of the other 38 Anglican provinces in consultation for global good and reconciliation.

Jefferts Schori was elected at the 75th General Convention on June 18, 2006, and invested at Washington National Cathedral on Nov. 4, 2006.

On Jan. 15, after church, a celebratory lunch is planned at the Amber Room Colonnade. While the service is open to all, reservations are required for the lunch.
