I'm delighted to announce the launch
of an exciting, new, *FREE* online worship resource called The Worship
Well http://theworshipwell.org
. It's the happy result of a collaboration among the Office of Liturgy and
Music, Episcopal Church and Visual Arts, All Saints Company (affiliated
with Saint Gregory of Nyssa Episcopal Church in San Francisco), and Church
Publishing. We've loaded the site with dozens of interesting resources for Advent and
Christmas, and there are links to other websites with creative liturgy and
worship resources from the Anglican Church of Canada, the Evangelical
Lutheran Church in America, and the United Methodists, among many others.
But the whole point of the site is to grow an interactive, online
community of people and congregations interested in creating fresh,
exciting liturgy - so we're actively seeking contributions. (See the
"Submit" page for information about how to do that.) |

Episcopal
Public Policy Network. The Episcopal
Public Policy Network (EPPN) is a nationwide grassroots network of
Episcopalians who call and write their members of Congress and the
Administration to advocate positions of the Church. Members of the EPPN
receive policy alerts updating them on what is happening in Washington,
the Church's position on public policies, and techniques and information
on contacting their government leaders. EPPN members also receive a
congressional directory and action guide, legislative updates and
newsletters, training in advocacy methods, online resources and sample
letters. |

Agros.
Our Mission Statement: Agros
exists to restore hope and opportunity to the world's poor. Our
Vision: Our vision is to see rural poor

values and resources that enable them to flourish.
Agros works to help rural poor families in
developing countries break free from poverty. We do this by helping the
rural poor to acquire land, build village infrastructure, develop as
individuals, create strong community organizations, and develop economic
capacity.
