At the invitation of Bishop Suheil Dawani of the Diocese of Jerusalem, TEC Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori became “the first woman ever to preach at St. George’s Cathedral” in Jerusalem on Sunday.
Visiting the city where GAFCON leaders will hold their pilgrimage in June, the Presiding Bishop was beginning “a week-long visit to the Holy Land”.
And from the Episcopal News Service –
The Rev. Canon Hosam Naoum, acting dean of St. George’s, described the Presiding Bishop’s visit as a historic moment. “With all the differences in the Anglican Communion today, I see her as a uniting figure who brings beliefs and understandings and cultures of other people around the world.”
