As Episcopalians, our faith calls us to stand in solidarity with vulnerable people, to proclaim justice and peace, and to love our neighbors.
As Episcopalians, our faith calls us to stand in solidarity with vulnerable people, to proclaim justice and peace, and to love our neighbors. For those seeking guidance on how to engage in a public witness rooted in faith, the church’s Office of Government Relations has prepared Protesting Faithfully: A Toolkit for Public Witness. It offers practical and theological grounding for action shaped by prayer, nonviolence, and care for one another, especially in moments of heightened tension and risk.

A Letter to Our Fellow Americans: a Joint Statement from 150+ Episcopal Bishops
We, the undersigned bishops of The Episcopal Church, write today out of grief, righteous anger, and steadfast hope.
We, the undersigned bishops of The Episcopal Church, write today out of grief, righteous anger, and steadfast hope.
What happened a week ago in Minnesota, and is happening in communities across the country, runs counter to God's vision of justice and peace. This crisis is about more than one city or state — it's about who we are as a nation. The question before us is simple and urgent: Whose dignity matters?
In the wake of the tragic deaths of two U.S. citizens, Alex Pretti and Renee Good, we join Minnesotans and people across the nation in mourning two precious lives lost to state-sanctioned violence. We grieve with their families, their friends, and everyone harmed by the government's policies. When fear becomes policy, everyone suffers.

FALL 2025 EDITION: "OUTREACH AS AN OFFERING"
In the spirit of giving, we recognize that outreach is more than just an act of charity
In the spirit of giving, we recognize that outreach is more than just an act of charity—it is a sacred offering, a way we extend God's love and grace into the world. When we serve others, we are offering ourselves to God, reflecting His boundless compassion and mercy. Whether it's through feeding the hungry, comforting the lonely, or standing in solidarity with the marginalized, our outreach efforts are acts of worship that transform both those who give and those who receive. As the Apostle Paul reminds us: "Present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship." (Romans 12:1, NRSV). This edition of The Colorado Episcopalian invites us to explore how our outreach becomes an offering, embodying the love and generosity of Christ. Let us come together as a community, offering our time, talents, and resources to build a more just and loving world.

A MESSAGE FROM BISHOP KYM: ESCALATING VIOLENCE IN OUR COUNTRY
A MESSAGE FROM BISHOP KYM: ESCALATING VIOLENCE IN OUR COUNTRY
Greetings, beloved in Christ. I hope that you are well. This past week, I spent time with the House of Bishops in the Dominican Republic. It was a joy for me to be with our siblings there and to see all that the Episcopal Church in the Dominican Republic is doing in and for its communities. The Episcopal Church there is responsible for schools, for hospitals, for care to those who are going hungry, and seeking to soothe those who suffer. While we were there, we also talked about the escalating violence in this country, the shootings in Minnesota, in Utah, and the shootings here in Evergreen.
