Someone's encounter with KJS

I met her in Australia, years ago, when she was the Bishop of Nevada - basically, my bishop was making a very public statement to the whole of the Anglican Church in Australia, in his support of women bishops, so invited her out to speak at our diocese's Clergy conference, but being a parishioner of the Cathedral, I was able to hear her preach there too - which was wonderful.

She was wonderful then, and to be honest, my science mad then 5 year old daughter was most impressed with her oceanography background...and in the midst of clergy everywhere after the service, she ignored them to sit and talk science with my daughter.
