And the Episcopalians do it again!

It all started with electing the first openly gay Bishop. And continued yesterday at General Convention, where the first woman, Katharine Jefferts Schori of Nevada, was elected to lead the American Episcopal Church 30 years after women were allowed to be ordained as priests.

Woohooo!

And because there are still some misogynist assholes in the Church, I bet this is pissing them all off right now.

But you know what? Deputy's at the convention voted for Jeffers Schori, thereby electing her. That proves the church as a whole is not totally off-base with its inclusive practices, right?
