From our Office of Government Relations, Make Me an Instrument of Peace: A Guide to Civil Discourse (https://episcopalchurch.org/OGR/civic-engagement). This interactive, five session curriculum and guide offers hope that by using the tool of civil discourse, we can find new ways to love our neighbor. We need this. If you don't believe me, did you see the first presidential debate? We need this resource.
Bringing People Together: Bishop Mark Beckwith, and a number of other Episcopalians have been very involved in the Braver Angels Initiative (https://braverangels.org/), in the program called With Malice Toward None (https://braverangels.org/what-we-do/with-malice-toward-none/). It’s designed to bring people, red and blue, people who disagree, together to share our common humanity, to find ways to talk together and live together, to kneel before each other, and to stand with integrity, and yet to kneel as fellow children of God.
Light, Pray, Vote: The Diocese of Indianapolis (https://indydio.org/) has given us all something we can all do, Light, Pray, Vote (https://indydio.org/light-a-candle-pray-for-the-nation-vote/). It's very simple, what you see on the screen (https://indydio.org/light-a-candle-pray-for-the-nation-vote/) is the logo they've created, and that's on their website, the Diocese of Indianapolis. There is one that you can download and customize for your parish or your diocese, or whatever. It's something that we can all do, and it's not complicated. It's not complex, but it matters, light, pray and vote.

The welfare of God’s people depends on it.
