Congregations and individuals recently contributed $38,400 to the diocesan “Rebuild the Churches Fund.” The fundraising effort was initiated in July 2015 to assist six African-American churches which suffered fires, most proven to be the result of arson, in the wake of the murders of nine people at Mother Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston, South Carolina on June 17th. Here is a link to download the Rebuild the Churches Fund report.
