[The Living Church] 18 Jan 2008--The spring House of Bishops’ meeting will include development of a media strategy for next summer’s Lambeth Conference of Bishops, according to Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori. Bishop Jefferts Schori briefed bishops on the agenda for the March 7-13 meeting at Camp Allen in an email message dated Jan. 10.

“With over 100 [TEC] bishops consecrated since the 1998 gathering, it is helpful to offer some historical perspective, as well as consider the practical realities of our time there,” wrote Bishop Jefferts Schori, who was not consecrated Bishop of Nevada until two years after the conclusion of the 1998 conference. “As part of preparing for Lambeth, we will also discuss communications strategies and reflect on how best to work with the media both leading up to and following the conference.”
