As Labor Day approaches, Archdeacon Michael S. Kendall of the Episcopal Diocese of New York speaks about economic justice and the Episcopal Church's support for a Living Wage.

A video stream of Kendall's interview is available at http://www.episcopalchurch.org/81231_ENG_HTM.htm.

The Episcopal Network for Economic Justice has developed a "how-to" manual for congregations and individuals to understand and become involved with issues of economic justice. The resource is available at http://www.enej.org/Resources.htm.

Kendall also recommends visiting http://www.livingwagecampaign.org/ for a brief history of the national living wage movement, background materials such as ordinance summaries and comparisons, drafting tips, research summaries, talking points, and links to other living wage-related sites.

A bulletin insert for September 2, "Praying for a Living Wage," is available at http://www.episcopalchurch.org/78650_8852_ENG_HTM.htm.
