'We have to get our hands dirty' to serve the world, says Rhode Island Bishop Wolf
Most of the members of the Episcopal Church's House of Bishops, their spouses and their invited guests put down their pens and microphones and picked up work tools September 22 to lend a hand in Gulf Coast recovery efforts.
During the Day of Service, the bishops and their guests worked on nine projects in New Orleans, while another busload headed for various sites in Mississippi. Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori went with the Mississippi crews and her husband, Richard Schori, worked with a house-building crew in New Orleans' Uptown neighborhood. Some 35 bishops and their spouses went to the Mississippi Gulf Coast where, before arriving at their work sites, they took a bus tour of the depopulated Gulf coastline.
