Trained as an oceanographer, Bishop Jefferts Schori became Primate of the Church in 2006.  She has presided over the Episcopal Church which includes the United States and several other countries including Haiti during a period of change and renewal.
 
Bishop Jefferts Schori’s career as an oceanographer preceded her studies for the priesthood, to which she was ordained in 1994. She holds a B.S. degree in biology from Stanford University, an M.S. and Ph.D. in oceanography from Oregon State University, an M.Div. from Church Divinity School of the Pacific, and several honorary doctoral degrees.  
 
She remains an active, instrument-rated pilot, a skill she applied when traveling between the congregations of the Diocese of Nevada, where she was elected bishop in 2000 and ordained to the episcopate February 24, 2001. At the time of her election as bishop of Nevada, she was a priest, university lecturer, and hospice chaplain in Oregon.
 
Last year she spoke in Omaha at the Tri-Faith Dinner in Abraham’s Tent at the Qwest Center, and has spoken about the Tri-Faith Initiative in speeches around the country.
 
Considered one of the prophetic voices of this generation, she will speak at the noon luncheon after a two-day visit to the state including visits to Grand Island, Seward and a youth rally that morning.  Tickets for the luncheon are $25 and must be ordered in advance, either on-line at www.pbnebraska.com or by calling Kate Baxley for phone registration at 402-321-4824 or 402-321-4824. Seating is limited so early registration is encouraged.
