Salisbury diocese welcomes Presiding Bishop, Sudanese bishops for
pre-Lambeth hospitality initiative

>By Matthew Davies

[Episcopal News Service] As part of the pre-Lambeth Conference  Hospitality
Initiative, Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori and the bishops  of
the Episcopal Church of Sudan (ECS) are visiting the Church of England's
Diocese of Salisbury and participating in the life and ministry of the
city's historic cathedral in its 750th anniversary year.

Consecrated in 1258, Salisbury's Cathedral Church of St. Mary boasts the
world's tallest medieval spire and is surrounded by water meadows in the
southern English county of Wiltshire.

Preaching at two services on July 13 and offering reflections at an 8:10
a.m. worship service, broadcast live on BBC Radio 4 and available as an
on-demand audio stream, Jefferts Schori spoke on the themes of planting
seeds, growth and abundant life. The Presiding Bishop also preached  during a
4 p.m. Choral Evensong, broadcast live on BBC Radio 3 and available as  an
on-demand audio stream.

During the 10:30 a.m. Eucharist, she said that it is surprising how  seeds
planted on seemingly unsuitable terrain can often "bear good fruit."
