Support Dan Porter!
Dan Porter needs your support in raising money for African refugees!
Dan is a graduate student at Regent College and a dear friend of Everyday Liturgy. He is taking part in Ride for Refugees Canada, a cyclling event that is raing money for refugees in Africa.
A message from Dan:
The numbers are staggering – 67 million refugees and internally
displaced peoples according to a United Nations 2007 report. Over half
are women and children, vulnerable and voiceless while they flee war,
persecution and tribal violence. The RIDE is a way that I can
personally connect to this crisis, and it’s a way for me to make a real
difference in a refugee’s life. Thank you for your help and generous
support.

If you think you need to know Dan better before you send some money his way I want you to know that:
- Dan is an awesome ultimate player
- Dan and me tried to unsuccessfully rewrite the whole legislative process at our alma mater through a re-imagining of parliamentary procedures that was eventually dismissed by school administration.
- Dan likes trees and rocks.

Thomas,
As you know, Erin and I tried to use similar “parliamentary imagination” the next year, with mixed success. It got to the point that we almost quit en masse in February, but we thought of all you had striven for and we couldn’t let that go to waste, so we stuck it out. Love you, man… *wipes tear*
That’s the way things go sometimes. It’s all for the better. I remember being a bit furious as well after trying to move the newspaper to an online version for a whole year and then seeing it online after I had graduated. Sometimes we just need to be like Howard Hughes repeating, "wave of the future…" until the powers that be finally listen to the voice of reason!
I would really enjoy hearing about what you and Erin tried to accomplish in more detail.
