  • Public Policy and Witness Weekly Prayers – April 25
    Join us in weekly prayers for the vulnerable and our witness as we lift up those facing challenges, fears, and threats. As one church united in prayer, we name reality, create space for grief, and embrace hope. These prayers ground us in faith and guide our actions—whether advocating for justice, supporting our communities, or seeking peace. This week, we pray for those impacted by immigration policies, persecuted for their beliefs, and affected by global conflicts. Stay connected with the Episcopal Public Policy Network for resources and action alerts. Share these prayers with your dioceses and parishes.
  • Addressing Economic Injustice in Puerto Rico
    Puerto Rico has been part of an Episcopal Diocese since the 1980s. Home to over three million Americans, the island is served by a thriving and diverse ministry led by the Rt. Rev. Rafael L. Morales Maldonado, Bishop of Puerto Rico. The ministries of the Episcopal Church in Puerto Rico are vibrant and far-reaching, encompassing advocacy, the arts, creation care, meal programs, racial reconciliation, and many other expressions of faith in action. Alongside these flourishing ministries, many Puerto Ricans face economic hardship due in part to U.S. government policies that treat Puerto Rico differently than the continental United States.
