It has finally occur, the first woman to be appointed bishop, the new leader for the United States Episcopal Church.

Jefferts Schori has accumulated a number of degrees throughout her life. For example, she has a bacherlor's degree in Biology, two master's in Oceanography and divinity, and two doctoral degrees in oceanography and divinity.

The act of a woman to now being named the first female bishop to have ever been leader of the U.S. Episcopal church has made history; this type of action can only show one thing- women are now being held and seen in a level equally to men.
