St Mark's Episcopal Church in Florida
In 2015, St Mark’s Episcopal Church became a member of the Community of the Cross of Nails (CCN).
The Church has a long and impressive record of engagement with marginalised people in the area; from fixing roofs and finding furniture for those in danger of losing their homes through ‘code violation fines’, to delivering meals to infirm people around the county, feeding homeless people and providing emergency care for destitute families.
The School is equally impressive as students take part in practical work in Costa Rica and learn Christian values of peace building.
Finally a significant part of their joint mission is the provision of a Peace Chapel on the grounds of the church and school, open 24/7 for those visiting or working at the hospital over the road.
