June 4, 2025 Learning Session

Josh Cuellar of Real Escape from the Sex Trade (REST), an anti-trafficking ministry, will be addressing us about the contours of sex trafficking in the Seattle area and how they help survivors out of it.

The Diocese of the Rocky Mountains understands that the Gospel of Christ carries redemptive implications for all of human life.  Therefore, we seek to engage ministry in word and deed.  We see a deep connection between proclamation and social action as we participate in God’s holistic and comprehensive redemptive work.  Our Justice and Mercy Mercy Initiative equips diocesan churches to lean into the brokenness of their local communities with the redemptive power of the Gospel.

As a diocese, we have a strong partnership with the ACNA’s Matthew 25 Initiative, which exists to “equip and sustain Anglicans working alongside the vulnerable” and envisions an expression of Justice and Mercy existing in every Anglican Church in our province.  

To get involved with Matthew 25, explore resources for building and launching Justice and Mercy ministries on their website, and/or check out the recording from the webinar with Matthew 25 staff from March, 2024.
