Good Stuff in TEC: Iowa

From Episcopal News Service

If kids can't read, they can't excel.

That simple premise led the Diocese of Lexington (Kentucky) to create a summer reading camp seven years ago. Now the Diocese of Iowa has picked up the idea. And half a dozen other U.S. dioceses and churches as far away as South Africa are studying the literacy-camp model.

The Lexington and Iowa programs are examples of Episcopal Church Jubilee Ministries, a network of more than 600 social-justice ministries at the local and diocesan levels, coordinated by the office of Jubilee Ministries at the Episcopal Church Center in New York.
