Presiding Bishop issues video message to both houses of General Convention
Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori has issued a video message to the House of Deputies and the House of Bishops on the topic of the July General Convention.
“I want to challenge this church to look forward and outward, rather than focusing inward and backward,” she says in her communiqué.
Citing the five Marks of Anglican Mission, the Presiding Bishop states, “The church doesn’t have a mission; God’s mission has a church.”
The video message is the initial message that the Presiding Bishop will offer leading up to General Convention.
The message is available on the Presiding Bishop’s page of the Episcopal Church website. http://www.episcopalchurch.org/page/presiding-bishop
The Episcopal Church welcomes all who worship Jesus Christ in 109 dioceses and three regional areas in 16 nations. The Episcopal Church is a member province of the worldwide Anglican Communion.
