 Good News! More Light Presbyterians celebrate
Episcopal Church's election of Rev. Mary Glasspool, lesbian priest as
Bishop
On Friday, the Los Angeles Diocese of the Episcopal
Church elected the Rev. Mary Glasspool to serve as an assistant
or suffragan bishop. Glasspool is the first openly lesbian priest to be elected
a bishop in the Episcopalian Church. In 1993, the Rev. Gene
Robinson was consecrated as the first openly gay bishop in the
Episcopalian Church.
Glasspool's election must still gain a majority of votes from bishops and
standing committees of clergy and lay leaders in the Episcopal Church. More
Light Presbyterians celebrate and give thanks to God for Rev. Mary Glasspool,
her faithful ministry and election as bishop. The Los Angeles Times article
about Glasspool follows this celebration and call for prayer. |

 Every day, 7,397 people contract HIV. 308 every hour.
Started on December 1, 1988, World AIDS Day is about increasing awareness, fighting prejudice, improving education and raising money. The World AIDS Day theme for 2009 is "Universal Access and Human Rights." World AIDS Day is important in reminding people that HIV has not gone away, and that there are many things still to be done. |

 This Thanksgiving we give thanks for God's extravagant love for all of God's creation ...no exceptions, no one outside of God's embrace.
This Thanksgiving we give thanks for God's sustaining grace in and through difficult times, loss of those we love, illness, economic hardships and war.
This Thanksgiving we give thanks for the peace that passes all understanding that comes from trusting that God's redemptive love and justice is at work in our lives, in the lives of others, in our Church and in the world. |

 Join RainbowCorps New Orleans 2009, November 16 - 19, for 4 days of work, or come for one or two days. Local commuters are welcome!
Four years after hurricane Katrina made landfall, the City of New Orleans continues to struggle with recovery efforts. You can help! We had extraordinary experiences in 2006, 2007 and 2008 serving in New Orleans and with the continued need, we have committed to return to New Orleans this fall.
 Live into the Gospel of Christ that calls us to care for our neighbors. Serve with RainbowCorps, a mission service initiative of More Light Presbyterians, to provide relief work through Project Homecoming--a joint initiative between the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance and the Presbytery of South Louisiana. Work days will be Monday, November 16 through Thursday, November 19. |
