As you may have heard, the Episcopal Church General Convention elected Bishop Katherine Jefferts Schori as its presiding bishop this weekend. Major media is playing up the sex angle, as she is the first woman to lead a church within the Anglican Communion.

But the real story is how her election further divides a fractured ECUSA by continuing along a radically unorthodox path. The American Anglican Council lists major concerns, including her vote to consecrate Gene Robinson as bishop, her support for the church to bless same-sex marriage, and her vote against a resolution affirming basic tenets of Christian doctrine.

Her election sends a clear message to the Anglican Communion that her leadership will continue the revisionist agenda of the Episcopal Church.
