BRIEF: Diocese of East Carolina chancellor appointed to national Task Force on Marriage

| | Comments (0)

Wilmington resident and chancellor (lawyer) for the Episcopal Diocese of East Carolina, Joan Geiszler-Ludlum, will be one of 12 members of the Task Force on the Study of Marriage for the national Episcopal Church. 

"This task force is charged not only to take the pulse of our current theological understanding of the meaning of marriage," said Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori in a press release, "but to assist the faithful in conversation and discernment about marriage, in particular what the Church might hold up as “holy example” of the love between Christ and his Church.”
