To focus its response to the many challenges stemming from the new administration, The Episcopal Church Office of Government Relations (OGR) has come up with the acronym LEAP: litigation, education, advocacy, and prayer. Recently, the OGR began releasing weekly prayers, “focused on various issues of the week that might have otherwise fallen through the cracks,” according to the Episcopal News Service. Chief of Public Policy and Witness Rebecca Blachly and her OGR team “decide on the prayers’ topics after discussing the top issues of the week, based partly on the feedback that office receives from its weekly webinars and Episcopal Public Policy Network (EPPN) members.” Anyone who is signed up for the EPPN’s weekly Action Alerts will receive the prayers on Fridays.
