January 13, 2010 - Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori has issued a statement concerning the disaster in Haiti:
___________________________________________
The people of Haiti have suffered a devastating earthquake, and it is already clear that many have died and many more are injured. Even under "normal" circumstances, Haiti struggles to care for her 9 million people. The nation is the poorest in the western hemisphere, and this latest disaster will set back many recent efforts at development. I
urge your prayers for those who have died, been injured, and are
searching for loved ones - and I urge your concrete and immediate
prayers in the form of contributions to Episcopal Relief & Development, who are already working with the Diocese of Haiti to send
aid where it is most needed. The Most Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori Presiding Bishop The Episcopal Church
