Housing justice panel set for Diocesan Convention
Highlighting how-to steps for congregations and individuals, experts in reducing homelessness and the Southland’s current crisis in housing costs and supply will address Diocesan Convention as part of a panel to be moderated by Bishop John Harvey Taylor Dec. 1 in Ontario.
Presenters are Becks Heyhoe, manager for housing at United Way in Orange County and a specialist in working with faith communities; the Rev. Clarke Prescott, a veteran priest of the diocese who now serves at All Saints, Highland Park and an innovator in social enterprise, winter housing for the homeless, and temporary housing for refugees; Tahil Sharma, one of the diocese’s interfaith ministers in residence and a film production executive who brings insights in housing insecurity among college students; Tim Shaw, a longtime advocate for our homeless siblings and former executive director of the Orange County Homeless Issues Task Force.
Bishop Taylor has designed the panel discussion to answer this question: “How can the leaders, people, churches, and other institutions of the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles marshal their unique gifts and resources to call out and help ameliorate the housing cost and supply crisis in our region, which affects every cohort -- from the homeless to the relatively affluent?”
“We are also eager to get our churches (which are often rich in real estate) to leverage all they have for the glory of God and the sake of God’s people in a way that will help enliven their congregations while sustaining them financially,” he added.
The panel amplifies the ongoing work of the 65-member diocesan Housing Justice Task Force, which next meets Jan. 15 at 10 a.m. at the Cathedral Center, 840 Echo Park Ave., Los Angeles.
The public is invited to attend the Convention panel discussion, which will be followed by the Convention Eucharist, set to conclude proceedings at the Ontario Convention Center.

Additional pre-convention workshop will outline disaster response resources
An additional workshop has been added to the "Resource Roundup" programs to be held on Friday, Nov. 30 at Diocesan Convention at the Ontario Convention Center. Tamara Plummer, program officer in the U.S. Disaster Program at Episcopal Relief & Development, and the Rev. Michael Bamberger, diocesan disaster coordinator, will lead "Disaster Response and Recovery: God's Call for the Church," a workshop on being prepared and responding to the needs of communities following disasters. Plummer and Bamberger offer this description:
|
|
"Disasters happen in our communities and while they cause incredible loss and pain, we as the church can be present to the needs of our community in unique and life-giving ways. This workshop will help you highlight your giftedness as the church to prepare for and respond to the needs of communities after a disaster. Through interactive activities, we will explore ways that your congregation can build resilience and be the hands and feet of Christ during difficult times. Often the church is particularly poised to support and advocate for our neighbors, not just during the immediate aftermath, but for long journey towards recovery. If you want to be prepared, respond, and create a community of support, this is the workshop for you."
The workshop will be held twice, once at 9 a.m. and again at 10 a.m.
Previously announced workshops on Finance (led by diocesan CFO the Rev. Michele Racusin) and Group Spiritual Direction (presented by the Rev. Elizabeth I. Rechter) will be offered at both sessions.
Information on all available workshops is available
here.

California dioceses form public policy network
More than a year ago, the bishops of the six dioceses in California began discussing the desirability of forming a California-focused public policy network. This fall, with the support of the Office of Social Justice & Engagement of The Episcopal Church, the Episcopal Public Policy Network of California or EPPN-CA was launched. Bishop John Harvey Taylor appointed the Rev. Joanne Leslie, The Rev. Greg Kimura and the Rev. Abel Lopez as the Diocese of Los Angeles' representatives. They continue to serve on EPPN-CA's formation committee.
Rathen than hire staff to lobby representatives in the state capital -- an approach used in some other states -- EPPN-CA aims to facilitate joint statements from the bishops when they wish to take a formal policy position together; to inform Episcopalians throughout the state about priority issues where Christian engagement might be effective; and to urge individuals and congregations to get involved.
Although EPPN-CA is still in the formation stages, advocacy and witness work has begun. In June, the committee helped to draft the bishops’ statements against conversion therapy (supporting AB 2943) as well as a statement against the separation of families as part of immigration policy
The bishops and the EPPN-CA formation committee are learning as they go. For the moment, they are pleased to share the foundational statement developed over the summer as a way of introducing themselves to the broader Episcopal community. Questions about EPPN-CA may be directed to Leslie at
[email protected]; Kimura at
[email protected]; or Lopez at
[email protected].
