Local priests sign letter of protest against comments by John Danforth, Episcopal priest and former senator
Six priests of the Diocese of Los Angeles are among 328 ordained Episcopal women who signed a Sept. 25
letter to the New York Times protesting comments by former U.S. senator and Episcopal priest John Danforth published in an NYT article about sexual assault allegations made against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
Danforth expressed sympathy for Kavanaugh, and for Justice Clarence Thomas, whom he called a "close friend" and whose 1991 nomination process also was disrupted by accusations of sexual harassment.
A Sept. 26 article from Episcopal News Service with reaction from Danforth and two of the women clergy, including the Rev. Canon Susan Russell of All Saints Church, Pasadena, is
here. Other clergy from the Diocese of Los Angeles who signed the letter are the Rev. Betsy Hooper-Rosebrook; the Rev. Aimée Eyer-Delevettt; the Rev. Beth Kelly; the Rev. Rachel Nyback; and the Rev. Sheryl A. Kujawa-Holbrook.

The 2019 annual pilgrimage to Cuernavaca is an opportunity to become acquainted with our companions in the Anglican Diocese of Cuernavaca, and to learn Spanish, one of the languages represented in churches of the Diocese of Los Angeles. The dioceses of Cuernavaca and Los Angeles are in an official companion relationship. "The people of the Diocese of Cuernavaca are warm and welcoming; they minister in a variety of circumstances, each with its own set of challenges and gifts," says the Rev. Barbara Stewart, leader of the annual pilgrimages that started in 2010. "Sharing, learning how the people of Cuernavaca work and they learning how we work, allows us to connect on many levels." The 2019 pilgrimage will take place March 23 – April 6. It includes daily lessons in Spanish grammar, conversation, and culture. All levels of Spanish are welcome; classes are arranged based on students' current mastery of the language. A number of excursions are planned to churches and local historical and cultural sites.
