Globalization

The protests in Quebec and Europe, Seattle and Washington D.C are strong indications that a huge number of groups with diverse interests are coming together to plan strategies to address unquestionable globalization. One of the goals of ENEJ is to find out what is going on in the Episcopal environment that addresses this issue. Please contact Dick Gillett at dgillseattle@yahoo.com if you are involved in globalization efforts.
