In a cooperative effort the Episcopal Networks Collaborative have announced a joint social justice education program.  The three networks are the Episcopal Network for Economic Justice (ENEJ), the Union of Black Episcopalians (UBE) and the Episcopal Ecological Network (EpEN).  The first phase of the joint education program consists of a series of webinars covering issues of race, gender, and social inequality. 

Join the upcoming webinar on Saturday, February 7, at 3:00 pm Eastern (To register, go to http://www.anymeeting.com/PIID=EB54DC88864B3F) on the subject of worker justice and inequality.  The presenter will be the Rev. Timothy Yeager, an Episcopal priest and former labor organizer. 

Other webinar topics will include environmental racism, homelessness, indigenous immigrants from Latin America and alternative community investment strategies. The second phase of the Collaborative’s joint education will be a series of issues papers designed for use by action groups in Episcopal Congregations. UBE President, Annette Buchanan, says “This is part of a continuing effort to improve the effectiveness of our networks by getting out of our silos and working together to empower Episcopalians to promote social justice.”
