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!

Presiding Bishop receives honorary doctorate in Liberia

Another Degree for KJS!


My Two Bishops


I didn't realize until recently that my bishop (Rodney Michel, Acting Bishop of the Diocese of PA) is in this photo from when KJS was installed in 2006. He's the one near the top right corner, bald with glasses. I am blessed to have met both these great bishops!
LIFE Magazine has some stunning photos from that day in this gallery too: http://www.life.com/search/?type=images&q0=katharine+jefferts+schori&page=1
