There are lots of wonderful models emerging of dioceses actively engaging God's mission of global reconciliation in the Millennium Development Goals. At the top of the list is Minnesota, where the Rev. Devon Anderson has assembled a great team that is doing great work. You can see the first fruits of their labor here:
Here are some highlights of grants given to congregations for MDG work:
The grant recipients and supported projects are:
Messiah Church, St. Paul, $700 for its ongoing work with the Leogane Communal District’s Saint Croix Hospital in Haiti;
St. Alban’s Church, Edina, $700, also for ongoing work at the Leogane Communal District’s Saint Croix Hospital in Haiti (in partnership with Messiah Church);
St. John’s Church, Minneapolis, $700 for work with the Parish of St. Philippe-St. Jacques in Haiti through the Haiti Parish Partner Program;
(Three Minnesota Episcopal congregations now involved in work in Haiti—Messiah, St. Alban’s and St. John’s—are planning ways to both deepen their partnership and find ways to invite other congregations in the Diocese of Minnesota to join in work in Haiti.)
St. James’ Church, Marshall, $750 for the Rwanda Reads Program;
St. Luke’s Church, Rochester, $500 for its ongoing work with the Zumbro River Watershed Partnership; and
St. Matthew’s Church, St. Paul, $750 for its ongoing work with Hope Multipurpose, Incorporated and the Blue House in Uganda, an home for AIDS orphans. They've also got a MDG training conference planned for September 15 that should be a model for other dioceses doing the same thing (North Carolina recently had a very successful one themselves!).
