From the Church of Ireland:On Sunday 30th January at 9.00am, the Most Revd Dr Katharine Jefferts-Schori, Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church of the USA, will preach at the Sung Eucharist in Christ Church Cathedral (please note the earlier time).
Dr Jefferts Schori is in Ireland attending a conference of the Primates of the Anglican Communion which is being held at the Emmaus Retreat Centre in Swords, Co. Dublin.
Speaking of the bishop’s visit, the Dean of Christ Church Cathedral, the Very Revd Dermot Dunne said “It is truly a delight and a historic moment for the cathedral to welcome Dr Jefferts-Schori who has done so much for the Anglican Communion in areas of minority inclusion”. (My emphasis)
Dear me! What will Rowan think?
H/T to John Chilton at The Lead.
And we care what the ABC thinks these days?
ReplyDeletePiskie, no. I just had to say it.
ReplyDeleteA very symbolic act from within the oldest member of the Anglican Communion
ReplyDeleteDean Dunne is a former RC priest BTW.
Does she get to wear her hat or just carry it?
ReplyDeleteEcclesia Anglicana, welcome. The invitation by Dean Dunne is a strong and beautiful symbolic statement. Thanks for the info that the dean is a former RC priest. The traffic goes both ways.
ReplyDeletePaul (A.), I'm betting the PB gets to wear her mitre. Of course, I could be wrong.
On a related topic, the primates should seize the occasion to denounce or protest or whatever the murder of a gay activist in Uganda.
ReplyDeleteOrmonde, absolutely. I hope the primates do not miss the opportunity. We shall see.
