The Inquirer’s Class is a small group setting where participants have an opportunity to explore what the Episcopal Church is all about and to look at their faith in the context of their past experience, what they’ve been taught, and what the church believes and teaches. Participants have an opportunity to ask questions and share responses in an open, warm, and welcoming environment. Please sign up with The Rev. Mel Soriano.

Seeds of Hope seeks funds to replace stolen forklift

The forklift belonging to Seeds of Hope, the Diocese of Los Angeles' food justice ministry, was stolen the night of Feb. 11, according to a Feb. 13 Facebook post from the agency. Staff members discovering the loss also found a broken lock and bent steel gate at their rented distribution center in Hollywood.

"This is a key piece of equipment for us as we load and unload heavy pallets in the process of distributing over 60,000 pounds of free, fresh, healthy produce each week," the staff wrote on Facebook. "But we are not going to let this loss disrupt our efforts!"

Seeds of Hope will rent a forklift while awaiting insurance funds for a replacement, and is seeking donations to help cover the rental cost of about $2,500 for a month.
