Last week, I blogged about our new CONGO SABBATH initiative. We are inviting diverse congregations from across the United States to become involved in supporting the women and girls in the Congo. We invited more than 1800 readers of the Religious Institute's newsletter to sign up for more information, and so far, we have heard from only 30 congregations.
We need YOUR help to make this project that we are doing to support the V-Day's and Unicef's efforts in the Congo a success.
Perhaps I didn't do a good enough job of describing the horror of women's lives in the Congo. Saturday, the New York Times ran this excruciating front page story. Read it at http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/18/world/africa/18congo.html?hp
And then let me know if we can count on you to get involved. Send us an email at info@religiousinstitute.org and we'll send you more information about how your faith community can help.
The women and girls of the Congo are counting on us to stand in solidarity with them.
