1 EPISCOPAL CHURCH WOMEN OF THE DIOCESE OF LONG ISLAND Summer 2018 Dear Episcopal Church Women & Friends, PRESIDENT S MESSAGE The Episcopal Church at the moment is preparing for the 79th General Convention and 49th Episcopal Church Women Triennial Meeting in Austin, Texas, July 3 through July 13, Joan Derle was chosen as the Distinguished Women for the Diocese of Long Island, and she will be honored at the National Episcopal Church Women s Luncheon on Sunday, July 8, 2018 in Austin, Texas. One of the themes for this year's Triennial is "Taking ECW Deeper into the Jesus Movement" and one for the 79th Convention is "#PrayFastAct for Disaster Preparedness". The Episcopal Church Women of the Diocese of Long Island are always in the forefront taking care of those who need our help, whether it is speaking out for others, knitting for those who need to be warm, clothing the naked and feeding the hungry. It is written in the Book of Proverbs: "Speak out for those who cannot speak, for the rights of all the destitute. Speak out, judge righteously, and defend the rights of the poor and needy. A Blessed and active time for those attending Convention, and also to those who are working for the poor at home during the summer. In His Service. Lois Johnson-Rodney Diocesan ECW President loisjohnsonrodney1@gmail.com

Alexander Santora, author of the article, refers to Hoboken University Medical Center (HUMC), where Dcn.
