The July issue of Lamplight, Episcopal Relief & Development’s disaster program newsletter is available to read online.

Our hearts and prayers are with all of the communities who have experienced acts of violence in July. If you feel called to take action in your own community, consider visiting the Bishops United Against Gun Violence website for resources and information. Despite such tragedy and uncertainty, we hope that you are finding some time to rest this summer. No matter your schedule or responsibilities, always remember that you cannot pour from an empty glass. The people who benefit from your ministry need you to take care of your mind, body and spirit.

For over 80 years, Episcopal Relief & Development has been working together with supporters and partners for lasting change around the world.
