The Diocese of Louisiana is a mission-oriented Diocese of the Episcopal Church in the United States. We are proudly part of the worldwide Anglican Communion and share in the Eucharistic Community with the Archbishop of Canterbury.
A look at our Mission and Vision Statements demonstrate that we strive to live not for ourselves alone but in our ministry to those for whom Christ died and was raised and who seek the joy of life in a Christian community.
I invite you to visit any of the Churches in the Diocese of Louisiana. I hope you will find there a community which seeks to honor our Lord Jesus Christ and which will warmly welcome you.
+Charles E. Jenkins, Bishop
Mission Statement
The Diocese of Louisiana is, by grace, a vital community, reborn in the wake of tragedy, forging a new and prophetic environment of healing, trust and empowerment as servants of Jesus Christ
Vision Statement
The Diocese of Louisiana is one church, faithful to our Lord Jesus, united in mission, reaching out through service and proclamation to all for whom Christ died. We live in joyous expectation of God's transforming power, compassion, and mercy in our lives.
From the parable of the Good Samaritan…
"Which of these three was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?' He said, ‘The one who showed him mercy.' Jesus said to him, ‘Go and do likewise.'"
Luke 10:36-37
The 2008 Bishop's Annual Mission Appeal is the lifeblood for vital ministry initiatives in our own diocese that would otherwise go unfunded. Growing, vibrant programs such as campus ministries, local missions and our relationship with international missions are made possible because of your support.
