Female chief makes Church history

From BBC News:

The US Episcopal Church has chosen a woman as its next leader - making it the first church anywhere in the Anglican denomination to do so. Katharine Jefferts Schori narrowly won a vote among her fellow bishops at a governing General Convention meeting.
The choice must still be approved by delegates at the convention, where the bishops' vote is normally backed.
The choice could prove controversial - most other Anglican Churches around the world do not allow women to be bishops.
