Easter Day 2017
On Easter Day, the Rt. Rev. Anne Hodges-Copple reflects on the “scandalous” news of Christ’s death and resurrection (John 20:1-18): “The scandal is that, as much as we human beings make a mess of things, the invitation to be made new is issued anew today in this day of resurrection. The tomb, the emptiness, is actually God’s womb that will miraculously bring forth new life.” (The Rt. Rev. Anne Hodges-Copple is Bishop Diocesan Pro Tempore and VI Bishop Suffragan of North Carolina.)
