Dear EPF Member,
I invite you to join me in becoming a leader in the new Peace Partners initiative of the Episcopal Peace Fellowship. I am writing to you because of your commitment to issues of peace and justice and because of your leadership role within the Church.
In the past three years, the EPF has begun nonviolence work in underserved communities, organized regional and ecumenical events to protest the war in Iraq, revolutionized its communications, had its strongest presence ever at General Convention, and launched new initiatives with young adults.
Over the next three years, the Peace Partners initiative will enable the EPF to build on its recent successes and help it to:
• Continue to take a lead in regional and ecumenical anti-war actions
• Create a national grassroots network within the Episcopal Church
• Provide liturgical and educational resources to local congregations
• Provide support for local organizing and action
• Expand access to nonviolence training
• Expand its impact within the Episcopal Church
• Nurture new generations of peacemakers
The EPF is seeking individuals and institutions as its Peace Partners. You can become a Peace Partner by making a three-year financial commitment to the EPF.
I am genuinely excited to become one of EPF’s Peace Partners. I hope that you will join me in working against violence and for the new creation begun in Jesus Christ. I remain
Your servant in Christ,
Katharine Jefferts Schori
