                              Dear Friends,
                             </div> 
                             <div>

                              With rain still falling in Houston, the magnitude of Hurricane Harvey's damage along the Texas coast has only begun to reveal itself. Many of us have friends and loved ones in the affected area, and we have held them near to our hearts this weekend. The heartbreaking realities on the ground were brought home for me when one of my seminary classmates used social media to find a rescue boat for one of her parishioners. If you are suffering in any way as a result of this storm, please know that your clergy are here to support you.
                             </div> 
                             <div>
                              &nbsp;
                             </div> 
                             <div>
                              As we look for God in tragedies like this, we need to make sure that we are looking in the right places. God is not in the storm, as we learn in First Kings. Ours is a God who calms the storm, who promises to rebuild the temple when it falls, and who is always about the work of resurrection. Ours is a God who invites us to share in his work of resurrection.
                             </div> 
                             <div>

                              In the weeks ahead, we will learn about the best ways to support our friends and neighbors in Texas. Until then, we will pray. The Bishop of Texas has suggested some words for those who might not have their own words: &nbsp;&nbsp;

                              Our friends at Episcopal Relief and Development (ERD) have created a fund for those who want to put their money where their prayers are. ERD is a trusted and fully audited arm of the Episcopal Church that will be guided in its relief efforts by church leaders on the ground. I have supported ERD for many years and have great confidence in them. Donations may be made online:
