  • All Persons Equally Deserve the Ability to Pursue Their Dreams and Contribute to Their Communities and Families with Liberty, Dignity, and Freedom.” January 12, 2015
    “All persons equally deserve the ability to pursue their dreams and contribute to their communities and families with liberty, dignity, and freedom.” January 12, 2015 Over one hundred Episcopal Church bishops have joined Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori in welcoming President Obama’s decision to offer relief from deportation to millions of undocumented community members and to reform certain harmful immigration enforcement policies. “I give thanks for President Obama’s announcement that nearly five million undocumented immigrants will soon be eligible for relief from the threat of deportation,” the letter states. In the statement, the Presiding Bishop and the bishops call upon the 114th Congress and the Obama Administration to work together to implement the executive orders quickly, fairly, and inclusively, and ask that Congress and the Administration continue to work together in pursuit of just and permanent solutions to our nation’s broken immigration system. The statement and the signatories follow: Together with families and communities across the United States, I give thanks for President Obama’s announcement that nearly five million undocumented immigrants will soon be eligible for relief from the threat of deportation. Too many families have lived for too long continually worried about parents being separated from children, wage-earners and caregivers from those who depend on them, and unable to participate fully in their communities and the nation’s economy. Permanent and comprehensive reform of our broken immigration system through congressional action is still urgently needed, but the President’s action is a constructive step toward a system that honors the dignity and intrinsic value of every human being.

  • A Statement by Religious Leaders in Iowa on Global Climate Change April 2017
    A Statement by Religious Leaders in Iowa on Global Climate Change April 2017 As religious leaders representing diverse faith traditions in Iowa, we believe that global climate change is one of the most pressing moral challenges facing our world today. On this Earth Day, we feel an obligation to speak on behalf of the most vulnerable in our society and to act in love for our neighbors both locally and globally. The relationship between Earth and all of its inhabitants is beautiful and complex. When one part of that relationship is threatened, ultimately it is all threatened. According to 97 percent of the world’s actively publishing climate scientists, carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels is a major driver of global climate change that threatens the health of our families, the well-being of our communities, and ultimately almost all life on Earth.1 Current impacts include severe storms, deadly heat waves, drought, flooding, and wildfires. According to scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), global surface temperature in 2016 was the warmest since official records began in 1880. It was the third year in a row to set a new heat record, and the fifth time the record has been broken since the start of the 21st century.2 The current rate of global climate change is unprecedented in human history and has few if any precedents in the history of Earth.3 We urge people of faith to acknowledge these scientific findings and to take seriously their ethical implications. Carbon pollution is an environmental justice issue.

  • 2018 Iowa Religious Leaders Statement on Climate Change
    We can no longer wait… 2018 Iowa Religious Leaders Statement on Climate Change Global climate change is one of the most pressing moral challenges facing our world. Today, we call on Iowans to find and implement solutions to climate change. As religious leaders representing diverse faith traditions in Iowa, we offer the following shared, core beliefs that compel, empower, and guide faithful action. As people of faith: • We must act to solve climate change because it threatens our brothers and sisters in our neighborhoods, throughout our state, across our country, and around the world. We are all neighbors put at risk by a changing climate. • We can find solutions to climate change by embracing a spirit of hope. Earth sustains our lives. Creation provides a world of abundance. This abundance offers us the path out of our dependence on fossil fuels and the environmental destruction associated with greenhouse gas pollution. • We know climate justice requires we bear each other’s burdens equitably. It is not fair that climate change is affecting most those who are vulnerable and least able to adapt: the poor, the young, the elderly, the sick, and those living in developing countries. Solutions to climate change will unleash new economic opportunities the benefits of which must be shared equitably. • We are required to work with nature to find solutions to climate change. We are part of nature, not independent from it. Our call to be stewards of the Earth, to care for creation that nourishes us all, demands we work with nature rather than against it and share our first fruits with those who need them most.

  • 5 December 2003 Communiqué Duncan Center, Florida
    Duncan Center, Florida, USA 29 November-5 December 2003 The Inter Anglican Standing Commission on Ecumenical Relations (IASCER) met at the Duncan Center, Delray Beach, Florida, from 29 November to 5 December, 2003. The Rt Revd Christopher Epting, Deputy to the Presiding Bishop for Ecumenical and Interfaith Relations welcomed the Commission on behalf of the Episcopal Church (USA) and the Most Revd Drexel Wellington Gomez, Archbishop and Primate of the Church in the Province of the West Indies, took the chair. The Rt Revd Dr Geoffrey Rowell, Bishop of Gibraltar in Europe, was elected as Vice-Chair. IASCER continued its work of reviewing all the present international ecumenical dialogues involving Anglicans, and provincial and regional initiatives towards unity with other Christians. In particular, it evaluated progress in church unity proposals in Scotland, South Africa and the United States. The Commission reflected with concern on the impact of recent developments in the life of the Anglican Communion for ecumenical relations between Anglican and other Christian churches. It received with regret the news that the meeting of the Anglican - Oriental Orthodox International Commission had been postponed, and that the plenary meeting of the International Anglican - Roman Catholic Commission for Unity and Mission (IARCCUM) had been put on hold. However, it welcomed the establishment of a new sub-committee of IARCCUM, which, at the request of the Archbishop of Canterbury, would address the ecclesiological concerns raised in Anglican - Roman Catholic dialogue by recent developments. It noted that the Most Revd Frank Griswold, Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church (USA) had resigned as Anglican Co-Chair of the Anglican - Roman Catholic International Commission, and expressed gratitude for the work he had done.
