Weekly Inspiration (11/24/22)
Today I bear witness to grace.
Today I practice kindness.
Today I choose love over fear.
Today I am not afraid to be generous.
Today I belong to the whole world,
not merely a portion of it.
No matter what others around me choose,
today I choose to live in peace.

”A new documentary—first shown to The Episcopal Church Executive Council during its fall meeting—highlights the church’s pioneering efforts in conducting socially responsible investing more than a half-century ago. “Our work on this committee is very much about collaboration with other institutions, dioceses, and organizations—we are grateful for their support, which, along with funding from the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society, made this documentary possible,” committee member Diane Pollard said. “We hope Episcopalians will take time to view and share this film and be inspired by the church’s history and work in this area.””
