RNS: Embattled Episcopal Bishop Jefferts Schori Seeks Allies Overseas

In a recent webcast, [Presiding Bishop Katharine] Jefferts Schori was asked if she was trying to shore up support from other provinces before the meeting. “That was certainly not the intent,” she answered. “It may have been a byproduct.”

“We have partners all across the Anglican Communion,” Jefferts Schori continued. “These visits had been set up some time ago, well before the timing of the Standing Committee meeting was known, basically as a way of building relationships between our respective provinces.”

    Oh, come now, Kate! Who do you think you’re kidding when you say this wasn’t planned? And Mr Naughton, the Episcopal Church doesn’t need our help in its destruction…….you all are doing a very good job of it all by yourselves.

    How do you know when this woman is lying? Her lips are moving. (yeah, it’s old, but appropriate)

    If this was what she was trying to do when visiting New Zealand, then I think there is every indication that she failed.

    The visit was so low key that it was unnoticed outside of the very small “supportive” end — and certainly was not likely to influence the direction leaders of the church.
