Diocesan ECW Event: Promoting Racial Reconciliation and Justice

Wednesday, August 10, 2022, 6:00 PM

The Episcopal Church Women Board invites all women in the Diocese of Missouri to the next ECW Connections event:

Promoting Racial Reconciliation and Justice

with guest speaker the Rev. Shug Goodlow,
Missioner for Racial Reconciliation and Justice

Wednesday, Aug. 10, 2022
6 p.m.
join the Zoom meeting

Learn about the work of reconciliation and justice being done in our diocese and what direct actions we can take to promote this work.

God's call to reconciliation and justice is seen most profoundly in the ministry of Jesus Christ. Jesus sought to bridge divisions that fracture the Body of Christ. By engaging intentionally in the work of racial reconciliation, we continue the work of seeking to love God, neighbor, and self.

Episcopal Church Women (ECW) members who took our recent survey voted Social Justice as the topic they most want to explore. Come find out more about this important ministry and your role in it.

Remember: All women in our diocese are automatically members of ECW. We joyfully welcome you to participate in events at the parish and diocesan level.

Sometimes it is difficult to get away directly at 6 p.m. We understand -- join us when you can.
