[The Star-Ledger] It has been that kind of an election.

In response to the strong emotions unleashed by a bare-knuckled campaign, dozens of churches are going beyond traditional election day prayers for the nation by scheduling events aimed at offering solace and a path toward healing.

In Englewood, St. Paul's Episcopal Church will be hosting a "vigil period of intense prayer" on Monday at 7 p.m.

Three Essex County congregations are confronting issues of race and justice in a seven-week study of The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Color Blindness.

The 2010 book, by Michelle Alexander, argues that much like Jim Crow laws replaced slavery as a means of subjugating black people, mass incarceration now serves as “a stunningly comprehensive and well-disguised system of racialized social control that functions in a manner strikingly similar to Jim Crow.”

Deadline for Congregational Pledges for 2017

Submitted by Randy Johnson on Fri, 10/28/2016 - 9:49am
Deadline
Thursday, December 1, 2016

Congregational pledges to the diocese for the year 2017 are due December 1, 2016. Each church will be sent a form in the near future, asking for them to submit an estimate of their 2017 Normal Operating Income (NOI), their percentage pledge for 2017, and the resulting dollar pledge amount. Since the pledge cards are to be approved and signed by the Vestry, plans should be made to review the pledge in November.
