Episcopalians for Global Reconciliation A benediction to help us move through our day today (part 1): May God bless you with discomfort at easy answers, half truths, and superficial relationships, so that you may live deep within your heart. May God bless you with anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that you may work for justice, freedom and peace. http://bit.ly/3Ajvbu

Episcopalians for Global Reconciliation Government support in the fight against poverty is crucial. Yet the year [of travel and observation] taught us never to sit back and rely on such commitments. Our politicians, in the final analysis, will follow our lead, not vice versa. - Jeffrey Sachs, from his book The End of Poverty

Episcopalians for Global Reconciliation "Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him,“Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." —James 2:15-17 What is the Spirit saying to you today?

Episcopalians for Global Reconciliation From the Sojourners email today:
Almighty God, you have blessed us with the joy and care of
children. Give us calm strength and patient wisdom to reach out
to those who are most in need, for those who are homeless and in
poverty, for those who for whatever reason cannot enjoy the
joyful life that children ought to experience.
- Adapted from the Book of Common
Prayer

He says it particularly passionately here. The "where you live" quote is from U2's song "Crumbs From Your Table," of course -- though Bono was using it before the song was released. I saw "Crumbs" performed live at Madison Square Garden, and found it very powerful -- I with it got in their setlists more!
