Social Justice & Advocacy
Maine Episcopal Public Policy Network (MEPPN)
The Maine Episcopal Public Policy Network (MEPPN) invites Episcopalians and all others who are committed to working toward justice and peace for all people and public policies that respect the dignity of every human being, both in the State of Maine, the United States, and the world. Members of this group work, with God’s help, to affirm the essential relationship between what we believe and how we live.
“We will strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being.”
Engaging in this work fulfills our baptismal covenant, and we consider it an important part of our faith journey. We go from Sunday School to youth events to adult committees and councils where we live out our faith and strive for social justice in the areas of Creation Care, Racial Justice, Peace, Indigenous Relations, LGBTQIA+ Ministry, Migration Ministries, and Community Support ministries and domestic poverty initiatives.
“Do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with your God.” (Micah 6:8)
We will focus our advocacy, organizing, and education efforts on the Gospel imperatives: feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, welcoming the stranger, freeing the captive, ministering to the sick, caring for creation, and giving voice to the most vulnerable among us.
Community Support
There are multiple ministries in the diocese that work with underserved communities. Learn more about how you can get involved with these domestic poverty initiatives and start serving today.
