During the Easter season, Sermons That Work is pleased to present reflections from bishops of The Episcopal Church on the resurrection of our Lord. Check back each week for a brief exploration of how Jesus Christ’s rising from the grave changes everything.

The Rt. Rev. Shannon Rogers Duckworth was ordained and consecrated on November 19, 2022, as the 12th bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana. A 2001 graduate of The General Theological Seminary, Bishop Duckworth served in the Diocese of Mississippi until her call in 2013 as canon to the ordinary to the Rt. Rev. Morris K. Thompson, Jr.
