A personal essay about choosing compassion & communication over withdrawal during times of crisis. Having discovered I have a gift for being connected & hearing a lot of information relatively early, I’m sharing how weekly & monthly updates from various Episcopal ministries (OGR, EMM, Creation Care, etc.) and CMEP updates shape my understanding of neighborliness & why passing along news, resources, and advocacy opportunities has become part of my spiritual and writing practice here & elsewhere. Please subscribe to stay up to date on what I am hearing from the broader Episcopal Church, Anglican Communion, and other ecumenical/interfaith organizations.
