Mission information from the diocese

 

Neighbor to Neighbor 

The Diocese of Western Louisiana invites you to consider a new way your congregation can support  asylum seekers in your own, local context. 

Neighbor to Neighbor is a network designed to connect asylum seekers with Episcopal congregations in  local communities across the US. Led by Episcopal Migration Ministries, Neighbor to Neighbor seeks to  provide a way for Episcopalians to accompany, assist and support asylum seekers who live close to  them, and is committed to offering congregational groups training and support as their relationships with  these newest neighbors develop and grow. 

To learn more, please come to our online Neighbor to Neighbor learning event on Monday, May 17,  5:30-7:00 pm. Information about Zoom registration for the event will be available soon. 

If you have other questions, please contact Joy Owensby, joy@epiwla.org, or Neighbor to Neighbor’s  Missioner, the Rev. Cristina Rathbone, at crathbone@episcopalnetworks.org.
