Episcopal Peace Fellowship at St. A’s
Episcopal Peace Fellowship members make the following commitment.
“In loyalty to the person, teaching and Lordship of Jesus Christ, my conscience commits me to God’s way of redemptive love: to pray, study and work for peace and justice, and to renounce, so far as possible, participation in war, militarism, and all other forms of violence.”
St. Augustine’s EPF Chapter
Martin Luther King, Jr. “Blessed are the Peacemakers”
Non-Violent Resistance: From Martin Luther King to “No Kings” and Beyond.
Each year the St. Augustine’s EPF sponsors a Martin Luther King, “Blessed Are the Peacemakers” community event which relates the 1960s Black Freedom Movement with current issues of racial injustice. Given South Whidbey’s demographics, the recent MLK event themes have called for a racial reckoning regarding systemic racism.

The St. A’s Episcopal Peace Fellowship is an advocacy organization that seeks to fulfill a commitment to justice and peace through prayer, study and action. Prayer and study lead to advocacy. Recent examples of EPF advocacy are:
Promotion of participation in Whidbey “No Kings” street rallies as a Christian nonviolent witness for diversity, equity, inclusion and respect for the dignity of all persons, especially our immigrant neighbors.
Development of a “No Guns In God’s House” proposal. The proposal has been accepted by the parish Vestry making St. Augustine’s a gun free congregation.
Organized the Whidbey visit of The Rev. Fadi Diab and his family. The Rev. Diab is the Rector for St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Ramallah (Occupied Palestinian Territory). While at St. Augustine’s the Diab family gave a community presentation to educate regarding the plight of the Palestinians under Israeli occupation.
