Concerned Pennsylvanians Episcopalians (CPE) is a voluntary coalition of people of the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania who take seriously the promises we have made to God and to Jesus Christ at the time of Baptism: "(to) strive for justice and peace among all people and respect the dignity of every human being."
We are concerned for the wholeness of the Diocese's spiritual and financial health which has been fractured by Diocesan leadership that does not listen or encourage consensus building. Our purpose is to uncover and reveal the truth via positive actions to all people in the Diocese which support a wide variety parish ministries, congregational development, engage in efforts that adhere to our Baptismal Covenant, and reach out to the poor, disenfranchised and discriminated in our communities.
We are an inclusive coalition representing diverse cultural, theological, social, geographic, and economic perspectives within our Diocese, prophetically crossing these boundaries and also those demographics of race, sex, age and place of worship. |
