Charles Edward Jenkins III (born 27 July 1951 in Shreveport, Louisiana)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jenkins, Charles. Louisiana. Retired )〕 was the 10th Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana. ==Career== Jenkins graduated from Louisiana Tech University in 1973 and was ordained by James B. Brown, whom he would succeed, in 1977 having gone to seminary at Nashotah House.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nominees for the 26th Presiding Bishop )〕 After serving briefly as an assistant chaplain at Louisiana State University he served in parishes in Louisiana and Texas.〔 He was rector of St. Luke's, Baton Rouge when he was elected bishop coadjutor in 1997, and consecrated the same year, assuming the diocesan bishopric in the following year upon Brown's retirement.〔 Jenkins's term as bishop was marked most prominently by the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, and eventually he was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, leading to his early retirement at the end of 2009. His own new house, which he had slept in only four times, was destroyed by the flooding.〔 He testified before the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure in 2009 on the impact of ending the Disaster Housing Assistance Program for those displaced by the storm.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Still Post-Katrina: How Fema Decides When Housing Responsibilities End: Testimony Of The Rt. Rev’d Charles E. Jenkins, D.D. )〕 Together with Episcopal Relief and Development he formed the diocesan Office of Disaster Response in order to coordinate the church's charitable response to the disaster as well as working with interfaith agencies.〔〔 In the Episcopal Church's struggles over homosexuality Jenkins has been generally seen as a conservative voice; he withheld consent for the consecration of Gene Robinson as bishop of New Hampshire, voted against liturgies for blessings of same sex relationships at the 2000 General Convention, and voted for a resolution to "Endorse Certain Historic Anglican Doctrines and Policies" that was proposed by Bishop Ackerman.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tallies on Resolution B001 at General Convention 2003 )〕 On the other hand he was seen as opposing division of the church at the 2007 meeting of the House of Bishops at Camp Allen in Texas and was reported to be involved in the initial stages of formulating the bishops' statement from that meeting.〔, quoted in 〕 Jenkins was a nominee for presiding bishop in 2006,〔 losing out to Katharine Jefferts Schori. He served on Frank Griswold's Council of Advice beginning in 2003 and was part of the special delegation to the Anglican Consultative Council in 2005 which discussed same-sex issues.〔〔 He sat on the Nashotah House Board of Trustees from 1981 to 1991.〔 Jenkins retired on December 31, 2009 and was succeeded by Morris K. Thompson, who was consecrated on May 8, 2010. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charles Jenkins (bishop)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
