The pictures are from Churchwork, the official publication of the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana and are from "a photo essay of Bishop Jenkins' final act as Bishop - a Eucharist celebrating Epiphany and his retirement - as well as fond memories and well-wishes to a man who has been our leader, our advocate and most importantly, our friend."

"The priests of the diocese join Bishop Jenkins at the altar for the prayer of consecration."
"Bishop Jenkins administering Holy Communion."
Bishop Jenkins is a good man and a good pastor. He served the Diocese of Louisiana well. May God bless him and his lovely wife Louise as they enter a new phase of their lives. May God give Bishop Jenkins healing and the peace that passes understanding to keep his mind and heart. I do not, for one minute, believe that his service in Louisiana is finished, but I pray that he takes time to rest, heal, and be renewed.
Prayers from far away!
