Betting on Helping New Orleans
This story is from the NOLA Times-Picayune. It reminds everyone of the good work still being done by the church in New Orleans.

One and the Presidential Campaign
Are Americans becoming more “green” and world aware in general? I hope so. I think we’re seeing a change in our awareness of the impact for good or bad that we can have on other countries, particularly those in need of our help.

“Those People” in New Orleans

They are giddy, bobbing up and down in the water in airtight baggies. Finally, they calm down and survey their new surroundings and [...]
More notes from New Orleans
After Katrina hit in August 2005 I joined the Episcopal diocese of Louisiana’s staff as Director of Public Relations. It was great to roll up my sleeves and contribute in such an exciting way.

Check out his blog http://edola-bishop.blogspot.com/where he reflects honestly on the frustration of people not deeming the recovery work in Louisiana “worthy” of financial support.
