    What Has the Church Said on the Environment?

    ByChris Sikkema Oct 3, 2023Aug 11, 2026

    As we mark the Season of Creation and the feast of St. Francis, we sat down for a discussion with Susie Faria, our policy analyst for environmental advocacy. She leads us in a review from the broad to the specific in our engagement to protect the environment at the scale needed to address today’s challenges;…

    Episcopal Church Statement on Impending United States Government Shutdown (2023)

    ByChris Sikkema Sep 29, 2023Jun 29, 2026

    As people of faith, we affirm the dignity of every human being and our charge to love and care for our neighbors. A government shutdown, with its far-reaching consequences, undermines our core commitments and our shared life together. It disrupts essential services that support the most vulnerable among us, harms federal workers and their families,…

    In this first in a series of episodes this season, we are again joined by Lindsey Warburton to talk about the resolutions of The Episcopal Church that pertain to immigration, migration, and refugees. Yes, we are actively engaged in advocating for legislation and policy change in the U.S. government today, but what forms the basis…

    Episcopal Church statement on the Arctic Refuge (2023)

    ByChris Sikkema Sep 11, 2023Jun 29, 2026

    The Episcopal Church celebrates the recent decision by the Biden Administration to cancel the leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. This land is sacred to the Gwich’in people, many of whom are a part of The Episcopal Church and have long-standing relationships – have fervently opposed oil and gas development in the region. This…

    Two Years Later: Fulfilling Our Promise to Our Afghan Allies and Neighbors

    ByChris Sikkema Sep 5, 2023Aug 11, 2026

    Two years after the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, much remains to be done to provide permanent safety and security for our Afghan allies, refugees, and their families both in the United States and abroad. Despite large-scale efforts on behalf of resettlement agencies, faith communities, and others to welcome this community, Afghans in the United States…

    State-level advocacy

    ByChris Sikkema Aug 8, 2023Jun 29, 2026

    The Office of Government Relations helps educate, equip, and engage Episcopalians to carry out advocacy to the U.S. government at the federal level. But we often receive questions about state issues – whether we are asked to speak out against discriminatory laws that harm the LGBTQIA+ community, fight against dangerous and damaging laws banning books…

    Advocacy As Evangelism

    ByChris Sikkema Jun 29, 2023Aug 5, 2026

    Not an episode about the A word and the E word! Yes, advocacy AND evangelism in the same space, but don’t let that scare you. Jerusalem Greer from the Office of Evangelism and Discipleship joins us to explore the concept of evangelism (as The Episcopal Church approaches it) and how advocacy folds into that part…

    FAQs About Advocacy

    ByChris Sikkema Jun 22, 2023Aug 5, 2026

    We get a lot of questions from Episcopalians (and want more! Send your questions our way to ⁠eppn@episcopalchurch.org⁠), so we thought it would be helpful to do a brief FAQ episode covering just a few of these. Check out this episode to hear what folks often ask us about and how we respond.  The Office…

Join Lindsey Warburton, our immigration and refugee policy advisor, as she talks about the basics of rules and regulations, how they matter in the immigration space, and why this is an important area to engage in as an advocate.  The Office…
