[The Living Church] 19 Feb 2008--The Rt. Rev. Terence Kelshaw, retired Bishop of the Rio Grande, has joined the Church of the Province of Uganda. Bishop Kelshaw sent a letter to Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori on Feb. 14 to inform her of the development. He wrote, “I have therefore requested and been received into the Province of the Church of Uganda (where I once lived for two years) and I believe I sense a certain security and unity with that decision and with that Province.”

Bishop Kelshaw, who served as the diocesan bishop from 1989 to 2005, is the second bishop in the Rio Grande to leave The Episcopal Church. The Rt. Rev. Jeffrey N. Steenson resigned in September to join the Roman Catholic Church. A native of England, Bishop Kelshaw, 71, transferred to The Episcopal Church in 1980 to become a faculty member of Trinity School for Ministry.
