Episcopal Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori is already dealing with the headache of a breakaway diocese in San Joaquin, Calif. She doesn’t want another one in Fort Worth, Texas.

That’s why she’s telling Archbishop Gregory Venables of South America that he’s persona non grata (at least in her mind) at an upcoming convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Forth Worth. Fort Worth has already taken baby steps to leave the U.S. church and allign itself with Venables’ Anglican province in South America. Mincing no words, she calls his upcoming visit an “unwarranted invasion.”

Her letter:

Dear Gregory,

I write to urge you not to bring further discord into The Episcopal Church. Visiting a special convocation of the Diocese of Fort Worth with the expressed purpose of describing removal to the Province of the Southern Cone is an unprecedented and unwarranted invasion of, and meddling in, the internal affairs of this Province. I ask you to consider how you might receive such a visit to your own Province from a fellow primate. The actions contemplated by some leaders in Fort Worth are profoundly uncanonical. They also prevent needed reconciliation from proceeding within this Province.

I urge you to focus your pastoral ministry within your own Province. May your ministry there be fruitful. I remain

Your servant in Christ,

Katharine Jefferts Schori

It’s worth noting that the Diocese in Fort Worth is one of three (San Joaquin and Quincy, Ill., are the others) that doesn’t ordain women as priests, so Jefferts Schori’s letter may be dead on arrival anyway.
