Celebrating Twenty Years of Bishop Barbara Harris

The Right Reverend Barbara Clementine Harris

On February 11, 1989 Barbara Clementine Harris was ordained a Bishop in the Church of God. As the first woman bishop in the history of the Anglican Communion her ordination was either the end of the church as you knew it or the beginning of the church as it ought to be.

Twenty years later, as we celebrate how far we have come toward the vision of a church where all the baptized are fully included in all the sacraments, we give thanks for the work and witness of Bishop Harris.

We given thanks for her courage in saying "Here I am, send me" to God's call to the episcopate and for her continued commitment to "the church as it should be" -- and refual to settle for "the church as we've always done it that way."

Happy Anniversary, +Barbara!
