HONORING TWO CIVIL RIGHTS GIANTS
We recently loss two civil rights icons,
Rev. C. T. Vivian and Representative John Lewis.
Their courage, tenacity and commitment
changed our nation, and encouraged and inspired
many to take a stand.
The Absalom Jones Episcopal Center for Racial Healing
asks you to join us in honoring these men
by continuing in the daily work of dismantling racism and
ending social injustices, and most importantly,
exercising your right to vote,
which they tirelessly fought for you to have.
Rest in peace
Brother Vivian and Brother Lewis
We thank you for a job well done

HELP RELIEVE MEDICAL DEBT IN PEOPLESTOWN
Help The Cathedral of St. Philip in partnership with Emmaus House to buy the medical debt of residents of some of our most financially vulnerable communities. This debt reduction will give struggling families a fresh start, allowing them to receive critical medical attention and support on their journey toward financial stability. Your gift of any amount will help them reach their goal of $115,000 to purchase and forgive the medical debt of families in the communities served by Emmaus House. Every dollar donated forgives $100 of medical debt.
Remember, we're ALL in this together!

In Memory of Bishop Barbara C. Harris
First Woman Ordained in the
Episcopal Church and the Worldwide Anglican Communion
June 12, 1930 - March 13, 2020
"Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death." Isaiah 57:2
We are deeply sadden by the loss of Bishop Barbara C. Harris. She was a strong advocate for the Center for Racial Healing, and leaves a legacy of dismantling injustices within the church and beyond that spans several decades. The Center was truly blessed and honored when she visited late last year for the launch of the Bishop Barbara C. Harris Justice Project, where her work and legacy will continue.

Thanks be to God! Hate Now a Crime in Georgia
ATLANTA – The unexpected passage Tuesday of HB 426, Georgia’s Hate Crimes Bill was a big win for the state and for Episcopalians who have fought for the measure, The Right Rev. Rob Wright said in a statement issued after legislators approved the legislation.
