Top bishop returns home

CORVALLIS — When the Rt. Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori was elected June 18 as the new head of the Episcopal Church in the United States, no group of people could have been happier or more proud than members of the Episcopal Church of the Good Samaritan in Corvallis.

The congregation quickly issued an invitation for her to come back to the parish where she first began preaching 12 years ago.

At 4 p.m. today, Jefferts Schori will speak in a choral Evensong service at the church, 333 N.W. 35th St. The public is welcome to attend and to participate in a reception afterward celebrating her election as the denomination’s 26th presiding bishop. the rest
