Call for Comment: The Living Wage

With the Labor Day holiday approaching, the Episcopal News Service is 
mindful of the several dioceses, congregations, and individual 
Episcopalians who have made strides for achieving fair pay for fair labor 
-- especially as reflected in "Living Wage" initiatives across the nation. 
ENS would appreciate at this time notification of forward strides in the 
intersections of the Living Wage and human experience in the dioceses of 
the Episcopal Church. All replies to news@episcopalchurch.org will be 
greatly appreciated.

ENS at this time also salutes Living Wage advocates -- especially the Rev. 
Canon Richard Gillett, and peace-with-justice activist Marty E. Coleman, 
both of All Saints Church, Pasadena, California -- for their 
early-and-active pioneering work on achieving fair remuneration, especially 
in Southern California, for the working poor in the United States.

In addition, all of us at ENS thank you, our readers, at this time for your 
lively reply to previous summer-season Calls for Comment on the topics of 
affordable housing, HIV/AIDS ministry, immigration policy, and the 
ministries of ordained women in the church. Each and every reply from our 
readers has been carefully filed for follow-up in a series of reports 
scheduled for the fall season. Once again, sincere thanks for all replies 
-- which continue to enrich the labor of ENS in God's vineyard.

Please note: Daybook will resume Tuesday, September 7, after the Labor Day 
holiday.

Sincerely and appreciatively,

Bob Williams
Director, ENS
