IT'S NOT TOO LATE...

Must-have button for GC12

...to donate to help with expenses for lodgings for Malcolm French, Moderator, and Lionel Diemel, US Convener, of No Anglican Covenant Coalition as they attend General Convention 2012 (July 5–12) of The Episcopal Church in Indianapolis.  Agents Malcolm and Lionel will be hustling our Resolution D007 calling for rejection of the Anglican Covenant.

Lionel says:

For the first time, the No Anglican Covenant Coalition needs to solicit financial help in support of our efforts. To date, coalition members have run our operations on a shoestring, and some members have made significant personal sacrifices to enable us to oppose what we believe is a disastrous change in direction for the Anglican Communion.

Our presence at General Convention will be our most expensive undertaking so far, requiring funds for travel, lodging, meals, buttons, brochures, etc. We estimate that this project will cost more than $3,000 US. Your help is urgently needed. Please consider making a generous donation to this important effort.
