Someone sharing their encounter with KJS:

 I met Bishop Schori in December 08...it was a very profound and proud moment...she is such a soft-spoken yet strong presence in the Episcopal Church.....by the way...she had NO entourage when I met her, she was walking alone from her hotel to the convention center in Riverside, Ca...she stopped to speak to a lady in a wheelchair, ..I waited until she was finished, then I approached, asked if I might speak to her, she said "absolutely, I'd love to speak with you"...I had a private one on one conversation with her that lasted just minutes, but will forever live with me and I treasure our photo taken together. When I addressed her as "Bishop Schori", she said..."Katharine, please, just Katharine". What a woman,what an inspiration, what a gift!! Keep us strong and move us on, Katharine!! God Bless you!
