Rebuild to Renewal: The Gulf Coast Through an Advocate's Eyes
New blog starting next week on ELCA Advocacy site

The Gulf Coast is at a pivotal moment: transitioning from immediate
relief to long-term rebuilding and recovery following the hurricanes
last August. Andrew Genszler, director for domestic policy of the ELCA
Washington Office, will be traveling along the Gulf Coast on a
fact-finding mission June 14 to 22. He'll be interviewing displaced
people, ELCA congregation leaders and people from our partner agencies
and institutions, asking what they've learned since the disaster, what
they've done to help the rebuilding process, and what Lutherans outside
the Gulf Coast and policy makers in Washington can do to help - beyond
donating money.

Be sure to read his blog, titled, "Rebuild to Renewal: The Gulf Coast
Through an Advocate's Eyes." Visit www.elca.org/advocacy between June 14
and 22 to read about Andrew Genszler's discoveries, the stories of
survivors, and the stories of Lutherans doing good work on the ground.
