Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori at Stanford

.

My friend Laura ordered free tickets to tonight’s Roger W. Heyns Lecture in Religion and Community, featuring Episcopal Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori, at Stanford. Even a dedicated Cal alumna such as myself has to admit that Stanford has a pretty campus.

The auditorium was almost full for tonight’s event. Someone remarked that we almost had a quorum for a convention in the audience – it did seem full of familiar faces from the Diocese of El Camino Real. Bishop Katharine’s talk was very interesting, full of big concepts and small interesting detours and quotes.  She held an extended discussion with the audience at the end. I am looking forward to reading her books.  Since Bishop Katharine had spoken about interfaith projects, I told her about the TechWomen program I have been working on while she signed books.
