I was able to attend the press conference with him immediately following. He was asked all the expected questions. In his opening statement he said is understanding of the role of the Presiding Bishop was to be the chief pastor to the whole community. His job will be to stand at the center as a minister of communion, conversation, and conversion. And he committed himself to maintaining the catholicity of the church, another, ancient, word, he said, for the inclusivity of which Edmond Browning witnessed to the Church.
Catholicity is something which the church is always seeking, never fully possessing.
We must always be ready to encounter new manifestations of truth. He said we are in a conversation and he would not predict its end. He said he considered himself orthodox. All of us have truth to tell. I want to help the community to listen with care to each other.
