The twenty-fourth Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church of the United States, the Rt. Rev. Edmond Lee Browning, 87, passed away at his home in Dee, Oregon on July 11, 2016. Bp. Browning served as PB from 1985 to 1997 wherein he advocated for a more compassionate and inclusive church, stating in his acceptance speech in 1985 that "there will be no outcasts" in the TEC. Here is a link to Ed's official obituary written by Sheryl Kujawa Holbrook (author of Heart of a Pastor: A Life of Edmond Lee Browning) from the Episcopal News Service that focuses on Ed's life and legacy. I'm grateful to Patti and Ed for their kindness and hospitality, for allowing us to stay at their beach house in Neskowin, and for the love and support they showed to Anna throughout her ministry at St. Marks. Rest in Peace Ed.
