You may not realize I'm an active Episcopalian - yes... the denomination that's often in the news for having a "big tent". [all are welcome regardless of race, sex, orientation, or sociology-economic background (rich or poor, pink or purple]
This weekend I learned that the Diocese of Haiti is part of the Episcopal Church! There are 80,000 members in Haiti, and only around 20,000 in WA. Last night at our monthly meeting, we identified some outreach funds that have been languishing in a 'cash fund' (making .013% interest) and it took us about three minutes to redirect $4000 of that money to the Episcopal relief fund for Haiti. It was a great feeling, and provided another connection with our brothers and sisters in that devastated island nation.
"The Diocese of Haiti is the largest diocese in the Episcopal Church, so there are strong bonds between Episcopalians in this country and our sisters and brothers in Haiti. For updates on the ministry of the Episcopal Church in Haiti, visit this link: http://www.episcopalchurch.org/haiti.php. All of us are encouraged to support with our prayers and financial resources the work of Episcopal Relief and Development. To learn more and to donate online: http://www.er-d.org/"
