 Reason 32 to be an Episcopalian:

 

The Episcopal Church taught me that Jesus came to challenge, not just comfort; to overturn, not maintain; to love, not judge; to include, not cast aside.

Pray for Those Devastated by the Japan Earthquake

Following the catastrophic 9.0 earthquake and tsunami that struck off the coast of Sendai, Japan, on March 11, Episcopal Relief & Development is supporting the Nippon Sei Ko Kai (NSKK; the Anglican Communion in Japan) in its initial response efforts.

 

The current death toll is over 4,300, but at least 11,000 are feared dead, with approximately 30,000 still missing. Shelters are housing almost a half million who lost homes or were evacuated. Food and fuel are running low in many areas, and severe damage to infrastructure is hampering relief efforts.

 

Episcopal Relief & Development has been in contact with NSKK leadership and an initial contribution has been sent. The Church in Japan is dealing with an extremely serious situation that is constantly changing, and communications are limited. We will continue providing additional support as the NSKK assesses its needs and makes longer-term recovery plans. Currently the NSKK is already engaged in organizing relief and volunteer support teams.

 

The Most Rev. Nathaniel M. Uematsu, Primate of Japan and Bishop of Hokkaido, said, "What we can do right now...is pray. Prayer has power. I hope and request that you pray for the people who are affected, for those who have died and for their families. Pray for the people involved with the rescue efforts, and in particular pray for Tohoku and Kita Kanto dioceses and their priests and parishioners during this time of Lent."

 

"During this time, it's hard not to feel helpless and want to do more," said Brian Sellers-Petersen, Episcopal Relief & Development's Director of Church Engagement. "Right now, the most helpful thing we can do is pray for those devastated by this terrible tragedy."

 

If you would like to support the Church in Japan once a response has been developed, please visit www.er-d.org for updates and how to donate.
