KJS at Press Conference 20 May 2008“Bishop Robert O’Neill of Colorado has agreed to serve as the eyes and ears of Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori during the upcoming Global Anglican Futures Conference (GAFCON) next month in Jerusalem.

Bishop Jefferts Schori announced during an internet press conference May 20 that Bishop O’Neill would be receiving hospitality during the invitation-only conference of traditionalist Anglican leaders from Bishop Suheil Dawani of Jerusalem. Invitations to the conference for bishops of The Episcopal Church were issued through Bishop Robert Duncan of Pittsburgh. Bishop Duncan is moderator of the Anglican Communion Network.

Although the conference is being held in his diocese, Bishop Dawani is not a member of the GAFCON organizing committee.”
