#PrayFastAct for the Next Time

As we enter the new year with hope and joy, I invite each of you to encounter Christ through #PrayFastAct for the Next Time , the joint Episcopal and ELCA call to action on behalf of the poor, the forgotten, the rejected in our midst.  If you do not already receive it, I also encourage you to subscribe to the Episcopal Public Policy Network email updates. When you are moved to action on a particular issue, please let me know so that I can put you in touch with others who share your concern and passion for positive change. I invite you to view this short video about the #PrayFastAct movement. Peace to you, The Rev. Dr. Lee Anne Reat, Canon for Formation
