As part of a "pure evangelistic undertaking", the Diocese of Connecticut is distributing small wooden crosses made by Christian Palestinians from olive wood. According to Alinda Stanley, chair of the diocese's evangelism committee, "the crosses have filled a great need here in Connecticut, to provide a simple, powerful tool for Episcopalians to witness to the power of Christ's love for the world."
The wooden crosses are available at cost ($30), and the diocese's evangelism committee has volunteered to count, package and mail the crosses, which are shipped to Connecticut from Israel in bulk lots.
