Jefferts Schori, w ho becam e a m in is­

“aw ed and hon o red and d eeply p riv i­
leged to be ele c te d .”
The

w as
a

as she w as intro d u ced after closed-
d o o r balloting.
“ I will bend o v e r b ack w ard to build

fe re n c e .
The newly-elected presiding bishop o f the Episcopal
Church, Katharine Jefferts Schori, speaks to the House
o f Deputies after her confirmation vote Sunday.
W hether that will be enough will
play out in the m onths ahead. The
Rev. C anon C hris Sugden, a leader o f
the A nglican M ainstream , a C hurch
o f E ngland conservative group, said
Jefferts S c h o ri'se le c tio n “show s that
the Episcopal leadership isgoing to d o
w hat they w ant to do regardless o f
w hat it m eans to the rest o f the c o m ­
m union.”

T he new leader will inherit a shrink­
ing and fractured church.
M e m b e rs h ip in th e E p isc o p a l
C hurch, as in o ther m ainline Protes­
tant groups, has been declining for
years and has rem ained predom inantly
w hite. M ore than a quarter o f the 2.3
m illion parishioners are age 65 or
older.

Deliverance Campaign Launched
W itnesses set
co n vention dates
Local members of the Jehovah ’ s Witnesses
are extending a personal invitation to every­
one in Portland to attend a series of summer
“Deliverance at Hand!” district conventions.
The first of four three-day weekend events
at Memorial Coliseum begins Friday, June 30
at 9:30 a.m. Admission is free and no collec­
tions will be taken. Conventions are also
scheduled at the Coliseum on July 21 -23, Aug.
4-6 and Aug. 25-27
Witness congregations around the world
have embarked on global efforts to advertise
convention programs, believing mankind
sorely needs deliverance from the effects of
inherited sin and its consequence, death;
feeling that only God can bring salvation.
Program parts will examine Jesus’ role in
delivering mankind and will review various
Bible accounts of deli verance. There will also
be special focus on passages describing the
hope of survival during G od’s fast-approach­
ing day of reckoning.
The Witnesses in Portland expect a record
turnout for the conventions, which are among
over 260 to be presented by Jehovah’s Wit­
nesses throughout the United States. Addi­
tionally, the campaign will advertise interna­
tional conventions in Germany, the Czech
Republic and Poland during July and August.
For information on the Portland gather­
ings, contact Mel Robertson at 503-330-7996.
