Support this bill to raise the Code Blue temperature to 25 degrees.

HB 596 - Homelessness Amendments was introduced last Monday, thanks to the collaborative work of Representative Steve Eliason, Salt Lake Valley Coalition to End Homelessness, and many other stakeholders. The bill changes the Code Blue temperature threshold from 18 degrees to a much more humane 25 degrees! We are very excited about this potential policy change and the lives it could help us save with our Code Blue Movie Nights.

The bill has a lot more to it, including funding changes for homeless services that use revenue from the Cigarette Tax. It will be heard in the House Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Committee tomorrow (Monday) morning at 8:10 am. A substitute version just dropped tonight that changes it a bit, stay tuned for more details (spoiler alert: the Code Blue temp threshold change to 25 degrees is still there!).

If it passes committee, HB 596 will need to pass the full House quickly so it can then move to the Senate for a final vote before the legislative session ends.

Please call, text, or email your representative in the House ASAP to let them know how you feel about the bill, in particular the Code Blue change to a more humane temperature threshold of 25 degrees!

Letter from Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe

Letter from Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe on Military Strike on Iran

Dear people of God in The Episcopal Church,

Here in the United States, we awoke this morning with alarm to the news that the United States and Israel have launched a large military strike on Iran. This violent attack comes despite weeks of negotiations that many of us had hoped would prevent armed conflict in this fragile region, which is home to so many religious traditions and faithful people.

Bishop Jeffrey Mello of Connecticut and a group of pilgrims from that diocese are in the Holy Land now, and when we spoke this morning, he let me know that they are safe at St. George’s College in Jerusalem. I ask you to pray fervently for them and their safe return.

Pray, too, for all the people of the Holy Land, and especially for the Episcopal Church in Jerusalem and the Middle East and its leader, Archbishop Hosam Naoum. I had planned to be with Hosam today and tomorrow when he made a long-planned visit to our church. Many Episcopalians who had hoped to see him and assure him of our support will feel his absence keenly in the coming days. I commend to you the letter that he has sent to the people of his diocese this morning.

As news reports tell us of fear and panic in Iran, I ask you to pray especially for the people of the Diocese of Iran and for all of the Iranian people. In recent weeks, we have mourned as the regime in Iran has killed peaceful protesters, and watched with alarm at both its increasing repression of the Iranian people and the escalating response of the U.S. government. As Christians who follow a Prince of Peace, we mourn that today’s attacks will surely mean further hardship for the most vulnerable Iranians and, as retaliation inevitably follows, suffering that will spread across the entire region.

Eternal God, in whose perfect kingdom no sword is drawn but the sword of righteousness, no strength known but the strength of love: So mightily spread abroad your Spirit, that all peoples may be gathered under the banner of the Prince of Peace, as children of one Father; to whom be dominion and glory, now and for ever. Amen.

The Most Rev. Sean Rowe
Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church
