The Anglican Communion, the environment, domestic poverty, immigration and Haiti will be among the topics featured in a July 28 webcast, "A Conversation with Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori," according to a July 21 press release for the church Office of Public Affairs.
Originating from the Episcopal Church Center in New York, the 45-minute webcast will be broadcast live at 3 p.m. EST on the church's homepage. It will also be made available there later for on-demand viewing.
"Presiding Bishop Jefferts Schori will be addressing topics that are important in our lives as Episcopalians and as Anglicans," said Neva Rae Fox, public affairs officer and webcast moderator, in the release. "'A Conversation with Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori' will allow for closer connections and open conversations on the issues that are on people’s minds."
To submit a question for the presiding bishop in advance or during the webcast e-mail: newsline@episcopalchurch.org.
Produced by the church's Office of Communication, the July 28 event is the first in a series of live conversations to be webcast, the release said.
"Our goal is to produce and present live webcasts as a means of making newsmakers and important topics of the Episcopal Church available to as widespread an audience as possible," said Mike Collins, director of digital media, in the release. "We know the wider church has questions about these issues and we want to provide them with a forum to spark discussion and give some answers. We will be rolling out an interactive way to take part in these conversations which we expect to have ready for our second conversation in this series."
Future conversations are planned to focus on immigration and the environment; air dates will follow, the release said.
