Public Advocacy News & Events: August 2022

The following information was compiled by the Rev. Dr. Teresa Mithen Danieley, Champions Organizer with Missouri Jobs with Justice, and a priest in The Episcopal Diocese of Missouri:


Show-Me $15: "Die in" Action
Thursday, Aug. 11
3 p.m.
McDonald's - 1119 Tucker Blvd.
St. Louis

From Stanley Jackson, Community Coordinator with Show Me $15:

Over the past 2-4 years workers have experienced a string of violence in the workplace. Over 9 different McDonald locations have experienced robberies, shootings, and sadly even workers being killed. Fast food workers are fed up, and have decided to stand up, and demand that they have a safe workplace. They need security guards, bulletproof glass, and safety policies in place. Workers will continue to fight until ALL demands are met.

Welcome from Our Bishop Find a Church Diocesan Calendar Clergy Resources

We believe in a loving, life-giving and liberating God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe God loves you -- no exceptions!

We invite you to be a part of our faith journey.

The Rt. Rev. Deon K. Johnson is the leader of our diocese. He was elected as our bishop on Nov. 23, 2019, and ordained on June 13, 2020, at Christ Church Cathedral in St. Louis.

Learn More

Approximately 10,000 people throughout Eastern and Central Missouri find their faith home with us. About three-quarters of our members are in the metro St. Louis area, but our diocese reaches much farther than St. Louis. You will find more than 40 Episcopal churches, missions and faith communities as far north as Kirksville, as far west as Columbia, and as far south as Poplar Bluff (and many points in between).

If you are looking for a church home or a just a faith community to visit, we invite you to explore The Episcopal Diocese of Missouri.
