BREAD FOR THE WORLD
Bread for the World is a Christian movement against hunger. Founded in 1974, Bread for the World's members have lobbied Congress and the administration to bring about public policy changes that address the root causes of hunger and poverty in the United States and overseas. It is a nonpartisan organization supported by 45 denominations and many theological perspectives.
As well as providing financial support St James participates in the annual "Offering of letters," when we join with people of faith throughout the country to write letters to Congress in support of hunger-fighting legislation.
EPISCOPAL RELIEF AND DEVELOPMENT
Episcopal Relief and Development is the international relief and development agency of the Episcopal Church of the United States, guided by the Episcopal Church’s principles of compassion, dignity and generosity as we work to heal a hurting world. It takes its mandate from the words of Jesus, found in Matthew 25: 37-40, that call us to feed the hungry, care for the sick and welcome the stranger.
In Lent, many parishioners skipped lunch on Fridays and donated the money they saved to ERD; when our teenagers raised money towards the cost of a new boiler for the Sunday School wing, they donated 10% to ERD to keep other people warm.
