I invite you to join me in becoming a Peace Partner of the Episcopal Peace Fellowship. I am writing to you because of your commitment to peace and justice and because the EPF needs your personal support and the support of your diocese.

In the past three years, the EPF has begun nonviolence work in underserved communities, organized regional and ecumenical events to protest the war in Iraq, revolutionized its communications, had its strongest presence ever at General Convention, and launched new initiatives with young adults.

Over the next three years, the Peace Partners initiative will enable the EPF to build on its recent successes and help it to

Create a national network of congregations within the Episcopal Church
Continue to take a lead in regional and ecumenical anti-war actions
Provide liturgical and educational resources to local congregations
Provide support for local organizing and action
Expand access to nonviolence training
Expand its impact within the Episcopal Church
Nurture new generations of peacemakers

The EPF is seeking individuals and institutions as its Peace Partners. Individuals and institutions become Peace Partners by making a three-year financial commitment to the EPF.

I am genuinely excited to become one of EPF’s Peace Partners. I hope that you and your diocese will join in working against violence and for the new creation begun in Jesus Christ. I remain

Your servant in Christ,

Katharine Jefferts Schori
