The Episcopal Diocese of Western Louisiana ordained and welcomed its fourth bishop Sunday in a centuries-old consecration ceremony in St. Mark’s Episcopal Cathedral
on Rutherford Street.
The Very Reverend Dr. Jacob W. Owensby, installed in January 2009 as the cathedral’s second dean, was elevated by the Most Reverend Dr. Katharine Jefferts Schori, presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church. Owensby takes over from the Right Reverend D. Bruce MacPherson, the diocese’s retiring third bishop.
I was really hoping the PB wouldn’t be there.
