Weekly Witness for 1 June 2009



With General Convention only a month away, Integrity USA is hard at work...

Videos Released On LGBT Issues In Anaheim

We posted two new videos to YouTube over the weekend.

"With God's Help" explains why the Episcopal Church needs to move beyond its de facto moratorium on additional gay and lesbian bishops during General Convention 2009.

"Becoming an 'Ubuntu' People explains why the Episcopal Church must move forward on marriage equality in Anaheim.

Please help us "virally distribute" these videos by posting them on your blog or social networking page.

Both videos will be mailed on a single DVD to active bishops and General Convention deputies within the next week.

The Ripple

We also posted a new "graphic novel" on our website over the weekend. "The Ripple" tells the story of Stuart--an ordinary Episcopalian who is weary of our denomination's conflict over LGBT equality.
