In 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."

Camp Galilee is celebrating 90th Anniversary!
Celebration on August 14th 2:00 - 8:00

Galilee is celebrating 90 years of changing lives at Lake Tahoe this year. From the first recorded service led by Bishop Hunting at the Stateline property on August 8, 1920 to today’s vibrant summer camping program, many thousands of individuals have had life-changing experiences at Galilee. We will celebrate this important milestone with an afternoon barbecue, as well as singing, kayaking, guided hikes, and a worship service.
