["SCHRAMM, Richard" <Rich.Schramm@abc-usa.org>]

American Baptist News Service (Valley Forge, Pa. 9/8/05)--National
Ministries has developed a Web page to report on American Baptist
Churches USA's hurricane relief efforts.

Reports from churches and associated ministries throughout the United
States will be posted to the Katrina Response site at
www.nationalministries.org/katrina, also accessible from
www.abc-usa.org. The site will be updated with news about the
denomination's coordination of its relief efforts across the country.

Messages accessed at the site highlight the relief focus as expressed by
key denominational leaders: the Rev. Dr. A. Roy Medley, general
secretary, American Baptist Churches USA; the Rev. Dr. Aidsand F.
Wright-Riggins III, executive director, National Ministries; and the
Rev. Dr. Walter L. Parrish, executive minister, American Baptist
Churches of the South.

Prayers that address needs in troubling times, authored by the Rev. Dr.
Cheryl Dudley, associate executive director, Church in Community
Transformation, are posted, along with a prayer from Chaplain (Captain)
Ruth N. Segres, serving at the U.S. Air Force Academy
