Fort Worth Statement

Statement from Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori on the actions of the Diocese of Fort Worth

November 15, 2008

The Episcopal Church grieves the departures of a number of persons from the Diocese of Fort. Worth.  We remind those former Episcopalians that the door is open if they wish to return.  We will work with Episcopalians in the Diocese of Fort Worth to elect new leadership and continue the work of the gospel in that part of Texas.  The gospel work to which Jesus calls us demands the best efforts of faithful people from many theological and social perspectives, and The Episcopal Church will continue to welcome that diversity.

The Most Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori
Presiding Bishop and Primate

Thank God for the wisdom of your Pesiding Bishop Katherine. May she be supported in her desire to present the Gospel in TEC, in ways that will bring new life into the Diocese of Fort Worth and into the remaining Faithful of the Episcopal Church in USA.
