The Next Presiding Bishop

This summer at the General Convention of the Episcopal Church a new Primate (or Presiding Bishop) will be elected to succeed Frank Griswold. So for those of you Episcopalians out there (or those who aren't, but are interested anyway), who do you like best among the seven nominees? I think the video interviews of the candidates at the Episcopal News Service are most enlightening, but the short biographies are also helpful.

My first choice by far after listening to the interviews would be Katharine Jefferts Schori, Bishop of Nevada, who seems the most theologically articulate and comprehensive in her global social justice vision. I also like Stacy Sauls, Bishop of Lexington (Kentucky), J. Neil Alexander, Bishop of Atlanta, and Henry Parsley, Bishop of Alabama, but the others are unimpressive to me.

What do you think? Who would you vote for right now, if you could, and why?

Does anybody still read my blog after my lengthy respite?
