April Meeting Reminder

The Dubuque-Area Episcopal Peace and Justice Fellowship will be holding a meeting tomorrow evening, April 22, at 6:30 PM. The meeting will be held in the St. John's Parish House library, following the 6:00 Holy Eucharist. (In May, we will resume our regular schedule of meeting on the second Tuesday of the month.)

On the occasion of Earth Day 2014, we will watch and discuss a brief address by Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori, which was delivered in 2012 at the Intersection of Poverty and Environment Forum. Other agenda items include the following:

• Local and state peace/justice issues: (1) the recent HUD settlement with the City of Dubuque; (2) wage theft legislation. 
• Discuss EPF perspectives and recommendations concerning prayers for peace and justice. 
• There may be interesting partnership opportunities available with Iowa CCI. For example, they offer a "Social Security Ambassadors" service, and they organize workers’ rights clinics. 
• Chris has an update on the P&J Feast Days poster idea, and he will be soliciting input. 

Feel free to bring other topics or issues, which you would like to add to the agenda.
