I heard the news today, oh boy
I was traveling yesterday, and got home at about 10 pm, so am probably the last plugged-in Episcopalian to hear of the election of Katharine Jefferts Schori as Presiding Bishop.
My reaction (after "It's a girl!") was that there were some very qualified people in the running, so she must have made a big impression to be a clear favorite. Then I thought "boy, are some people going to be whining non-stop about the naughty Americans again". *eyeroll*
Micah was there and here is his account of the moment.
The expected conservative fuming has been visible on the Ship of Fools fora today. I don't want to go near the ""reasserter"" blogs. It all sounds like "Girls have cooties!" to me.
