The reality of the devastation from the recent tornadoes in Oklahoma and Texas is becoming painfully clear and the long-term recovery process is beginning to unfold. As with other such disasters, the physical and psychological healing will take years, not days or weeks. Episcopal Relief & Development is committed to areas such as Moore, OK for the long term.
On Saturday, May 18, during a diocesan festival at St. Mark's Cathedral, the Diocese of Olympia launched an App! Folks were encouraged to "download the new Dio Olympia app and get the bishop on your phone." The free App is available for both iPhone and Android platforms.
