An Easter message from the Presiding Bishop

ENS 032205-1

[ENS] Jesus' resurrection plays havoc with the known, the safe, the
familiar, the predictable and opens the way for what is real. And what
is
real is the unbounded and death-defying love of God which overcomes all
estrangement and division and overleaps the chasm between life and
death. It
is an enduring and tenacious love that embraces all things turning death
into life, sorrow into joy, suffering into hope, and bondage into
freedom.
As we celebrate the Easter feast may the same love that raised Christ
from
the dead raise us up in the full freedom of the Spirit to be agents and
ministers of God's reality and hope to a world which cries out for
healing
and repair.

The Most Rev. Frank T. Griswold
Presiding Bishop and Primate
The Episcopal Church, USA
