But there were false prophets also among the people,
even as there shall be false teachers among you,
who privily shall bring in damnable heresies,
2 Peter 2:1
"The Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church Katharine Jefferts Schori indicated Tuesday morning that she would not seek re-election at the 2015 General Convention in Salt Lake City. The announcement puts to rest speculation that the first female Presiding Bishop could have also been the first to seek re-election.
Jefferts Schori’s term has been a controversial one, to say the least. The election of a female primate would have been contentious enough, given the debates throughout the Anglican Communion over women’s ordination and consecration.
But Jefferts Schori was also famous for
her unfettered political and theological liberalism,
and has a knack for making controversial comments that inflame more orthodox Christians.
Most recently, Jefferts Schori was criticized for a sermon in Curacao, during which she said
*that St. Paul was wrong to heal a demon-possessed girl,
*in that he “depriv[ed] her of her spiritual gifts.”
*But before that was her denial that a belief in Jesus was the sole path to salvation,
*her references to “mother Jesus,”
*and her claim that a belief in individual salvation was the “great Western heresy”.
Needless to say, Jefferts Schori also presided over an unprecedented decline in membership and average Sunday attendance. So far in her term, the number of baptized members has fallen 12.08%, partly due to an exodus of traditionalist Anglicans to alternative Anglican jurisdictions."
