No wonder she became an episcopalian. She's used to dealing with invertibrates.

seems a very bright and well read lady - probably one of those magnetic personalities.

as for experience, well she was never the rector or vicar of a congregation; never on a seminary faculty.

Somehow?? became the Bishop of Nevada with only something like three (3)years a priest some of which was unpaid - in otherwards volunteering to teach Christian Ed classes and the like.

As Bishop of Nevada the fastest growing state in the union, the Diocese was in decline during her tenure. After only a few years, something like 3-5 elected by her peers as Presiding Bishop.

Definitely not earned, must have been divine intervention.
