d-video? Nearly five years have passed since the devastating earthquake in Haiti that shattered lives, schools, churches, and employment in a matter of 35 terrifying seconds. With 254 schools, 37 hospitals, and 13 clinics, the Diocese of Haiti felt keenly the loss of 80% of its infrastructure. The Diocese of Haiti wasted no time in working to bring resurrection, partnering with the Missionary Society and others to lay ambitious but attainable plans to rebuild. So far, our Development Office has partnered with approximately 1,000 Episcopal churches, dioceses, seminaries, and other organizations that have contributed financially as leaders in the rebuilding of Haiti. There are so many resurrection stories in Haiti and most of them are Church-related. As one of our bishops noted: “Only the Church can restore the soul of Haiti.” To get involved, visit >http://www.episcopalchurch.org/page/haiti-more-cathedral 53
