Bishop Vashti McKenzie in Time magazine
From the June 28, 2004 Vol. 163, number 26 issue:

baby exerpt:

VASHTI MCKENZIE
Be Better Than the Men

There is no feminine for the word bishop in the Sesotho language. The word literally means "father." This was a bit dismaying to Vashti McKenzie when she arrived in Africa four years ago. After all, McKenzie, now 57, had just been elected the first female bishop in the history of the African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church and been posted to its 18th district, which includes the churches of Lesotho, Swaziland, Botswana and Mozambique.

I am sooo looking forward to hearing her at our Boule's ecumenical service!
