In ENS Weekly bulletin inserts for Sept. 5, Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori calls on Episcopalians to join in the current debate on immigration. With a reminder of the many biblical admonitions to welcome the stranger, Jefferts Schori also acknowledges the complexity of the issue. "We all agree that American immigration law is broken," she writes. "Just and appropriate responses can be shaped in public conversations in which people of faith do and must have a voice."

For those who live on the Gulf Coast, it's not a question of whether a natural disaster will strike, but rather when the next one will come, says the Very Rev. James "Bo" Roberts, rector of St. Mark's Church in Gulfport, Mississippi, one of six churches in the Diocese of Mississippi that Hurricane Katrina destroyed on August 29, 2005. ENS Weekly bulletin inserts for Aug. 29, 2010 look at the situation in the Gulf Coast area five years after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita devastated the area and as the aftermath of the massive BP oil spill continues to threaten recovery efforts.

"Episcopalians are part of a church with a long history of interreligious relations," writes Bowie Snodgrass in ENS Weekly bulletin inserts for Aug. 22. "The 2009 'Theological Statement on Interreligious Relations' passed by General Convention reminds us that 'prominent Episcopalians were involved in the first World Parliament of the Religions in 1893.'" Snodgrass describes how Faith House Manhattan, of which she is executive director, brings together people of various faiths to explore their differences and what they have in common, an experience she describes as essential to faith in these times.

A major election will take place in November in the United States. Many voters are tired of electioneering and increasingly frustrated by politics, but Lily Ickow, an intern for Episcopal Public Policy Network, suggests in ENS Weekly bulletin inserts for Aug. 15 that voting can be seen as an act of faith and a Christian duty, and that now is the time to register. "If we listen, and speak, and vote," Ickow writes, "we can choose the world we want, and choose leaders who will work with us to create it."

ENS Weekly bulletin inserts for Aug. 8 provide information about the new volume and the survey, and begin a list of the new names provisionally added to the calendar, to be continued in occasional future inserts.
