CARLSBAD, NEW MEXICO--The Bishop of the Diocese of the Rio Grande, the Rt. Rev. Jeffrey Steenson told delegates to the 54th Annual Convocation of the diocese that he will not be attending the investiture of Presiding Bishop elect Katharine Jefferts Schori on Nov. 4 at Washington National Cathedral.
Citing what he called "sound Biblical reasons," Steenson said a significant portion of his diocese was deeply concerned about her apparent views on some crucial points of doctrine, especially about the uniqueness and universality of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
"For the sake of these consciences, it seems to me the wiser course to be prayerfully absent," he said.
