Rohrbach told Episcopal News Service, "It’s a really powerful thing for the church to be present in these spaces, for The Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion to have voices in these rooms."

About this event
Mass Poor People’s & Low-Wage Workers' Assembly and Moral March on Washington and to the Polls
The June 18, 2022 Mass Poor People’s and Low-Wage Workers’ Assembly and Moral March on Washington and to the Polls will be a generationally transformative and disruptive gathering of poor and low-wealth people, state leaders, faith communities, moral allies, unions and partnering organizations.
It is NOT just a day of action. It is a declaration of an ongoing, committed moral movement to 1) Shift the moral narrative; 2) Build power; and 3) Make real policies to fully address poverty and low wealth from the bottom up.
We are gathering from across the nation to demand this nation do MORE to live up to its possibilities:
- MORE to fully address the interlocking injustices of systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation and the denial of health care, militarism and the war economy and the false moral narrative of religious nationalism.
- MORE to change the narrative and build the power of those most impacted by these injustices.
- MORE to realize a Third Reconstruction agenda that can build this country from the bottom up and realize the nation we have yet to be.
The Mass Poor People’s & Low-Wage Workers’ Assembly & Moral March on Washington and to the Polls on June 18, 2022 will be a generationally-transformative declaration of the power of poor and low-wealth people and our moral allies to say that this system is killing ALL of us and we can’t…we won’t…we refuse to be silent anymore!

CHURCH BY THE POND
By Nancy Jacobs, Lay Coordinator
April 23, 2022
It was a beautiful day to continue to celebrate Easter in Bushnell Park. We were blessed to be led by Rev. Don Hamer in today's celebration of Holy Eucharist. Today's prayers and readings focused on bearing witness to Jesus and his work. Rev. Don's reflection on the Gospel spoke of Thomas's lack of faith before he had seen Jesus. But as Rev. Don pointed out, he was not the only disciple who needed proof and who somehow missed the important teachings Jesus delivered. We miss some of those lessons as well and are called to live as disciples doing the good works that we were taught.
Many people shared prayers today. We prayed for those struggling with medical issues, for success at work, for loved ones, for the people of Ukraine, and for the prosperity of our Earth.
Twenty-two congregants received the sacrament of Communion this afternoon.
Although our scheduled lunch group had to cancel due to an outbreak of COVID, several friends of Church Street Eats joined to provide bagged lunches for forty guests. The guests also received hygiene products thanks to the generous grants provided by the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving and Episcopal Church Women.

Christ Church Cathedral serves the entire Episcopal Church in Connecticut community for the good of the whole, and is the seat of the bishops. It is "our cathedral." Our Cathedral hosts four congregations in one worshiping community. It's not a parish, as its role is unique in the diocese (see 2015 task force report & resolution). Cathedral leaders wish to remind all Episcopalians in CT that by virtue of their membership in a parish, they are members of our Cathedral. All are welcome at any time, and in particular, invited to these events . | | | | |
