WOW, I'm Episcopalian.........I never would have thought a woman would have been elected as presiding Bishop. I believe the term is for 3 years, then someone else will hold that position. She appears to be quite an accomplished woman.

I'm sure others will have differing opinions, though...

I know next to nothing about her. Our female priest just resigned to pursue "a career in environmental work," after 13 years.
