Deborah Frangquist and Kirstin Paisley
At the Adult Forum on November 18, with Bishop Marc Andrus, we talked about being better informed about the Millennium Development Goals and reducing world poverty.
One important part of being informed is having good information. Resurgence Magazine, the wonderful British magazine about sustainable living principles for individuals, communities, and nations, is an alternative to mainstream US news media. Whether you subscribe to the hard copy or the electronic version, Resurgence provides an excellent way to know about possibilities, projects, and ideas that we may not ordinarily hear about.
Bishop Marc mentioned the Episcopal Public Policy Network. Registration is quick and easy. Specify your areas of interest, and EPPN will send you updates that allow you to stay informed about pending legislation and the positions the Episcopal Church has taken. The updates that arrive in your inbox include links for more information and to write to your Senators and Representatives when you choose.
It can be really hard as a single Christian to keep up with the public policy issues which relate to the Gospel. EPPN makes it possible to be more informed and engaged as Christians and as citizens.
Links to Resurgence, EPPN, and other outlets have been added to the sidebar to the left, under the heading "Media/News Resources." Please explore them, and post in the comments any links that inform your way of living in the world. (You may also e-mail your links to Kirstin directly; she'll be happy to add them.)
