What a wonderful liturgy it was! St. Mark's Cathedral in Shreveport filled with people, kites and banners, incense and music as we gathered this morning to consecrate and install the 4th Bishop of Western Lousiana, the Rt. Rev. Dr. Jake Owensby. The Most Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori, Presiding Bishop and Primate of the Episcopal Church presided.
