Rev. Anna Greenwood-Lee is the new bishop of the Diocese of British Columbia

From here:

The Rev. Anna Greenwood-Lee, incumbent at St. Laurence Anglican Church in the diocese of Calgary, was elected bishop of the diocese of British Columbia Sept. 26.

She was elected on the seventh ballot during a virtual synod.

Greenwood-Lee says the diocese’s vision of transformation spoke to her. “It felt like my gifts and what they were looking for in terms of their vision lined up.”

Greenwood-Lee points to her interest in social justice, particularly in the creation of the Wisdom Centre, an online network that connects people with events and resources. She also has experience with and teaches courses on congregational development, and teaches courses on the topic. In 2006, when she became the incumbent at St. Laurence, she was given three years to “either turn the place around or close it,” she says. “It’s still here!”

If you would care to plumb the Solomonic depths of Wisdom Centre, you will discover that the new bishop is all for shutting down churches, staying in your house, wearing a mask and not showing outward signs of piety – like wearing a mask.

She goes on to tell us that those attending church during the pandemic are “trampling the Sabbath day”: after all, Jesus did not tell us to go to church.

Here she is in full-blown earnest:
