She received a BS in biology from Stanford University from Stanford University in 1974, and MS in oceanography from Oregon State University, 1983, a MDiv from CDSP, 1994, and a honorary doctor of divinity from CDSP, 2001.
She was born March 26, 1954, in Pensacola, Florida. She has been married to Richard Miles Schori, a retired theoretical mathematician (topologist) since 1979. They have a daughter.
And...she has gone from deacon to Presiding Bishop of the U.S. in 13 short years - having NEVER even served as the rector of a parish, she has now been chosen as the CHIEF PASTOR for over 1 million Episcopalians. Without doubt, this woman was chosen & elected not for her gifts & experience (for she has little to offer in those areas), she was elected because she & she alone would bring the greatest possible shock & offense to the rest of the Anglican World.
All hail Ashtoreth...consort of Ba'al!
