Finding Light in Dark Times: The Transfiguration Story

Bishop Kai Ryan | February 15, 2026

In a time when compassion seems absent from our institutions and darkness threatens to overwhelm us, the story of Jesus's transfiguration offers a lamp shining in a dark place. Through the legacy of Absalom Jones—the first Black Episcopal priest who bought his own freedom—and the revelation on the mountain where Jesus was transfigured, we discover that light eventually reveals the weakness of darkness. This sermon challenges us to remember the story, tell it in our darkest days, and let the morning star rise in our hearts until we find the courage to bear witness to Christ's light in a world that desperately needs it.
