DALLAS (AP) - The liberal-leaning head of the U.S. Episcopal
Church is set to debate a more conservative cleric as part of a
Dallas lecture series.
     
Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori will share the stage
Saturday with the retired Bishop of Colorado, the Rev. William C.
Frey, at St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church in Dallas.
     
Organizers say they'll discuss their beliefs about Jesus and who
Christ is for the world.
     
Jefferts Schori is the national Episcopal Church's first female
leader. Controversy has loomed during her tenure as several
conservative dioceses opposed to women priests and openly gay
clergy have broken away from the denomination.
