Frequently Asked Questions

Who is leading the organization of the religious solidarity activities?
Standing Rock Sioux Chairman Dave Archembault requested that Fr. John Floberg lead the religious community solidarity activities. Fr. Floberg has served as an Episcopal Priest at Standing Rock for many years and organized the November 2016 Standing Rock clergy action. Fr. Floberg is being supported by the denominational staff of the Episcopal Church, and other denominational leaders are also stepping up in many ways to help. Because Creation Justice Ministries serves a membership that includes the Episcopal Church and many other denominations that are involved, we are offering publicity and coordination.

What faith organizations and denominations are supporting the march?
The Church of the Brethren, Episcopal Church, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Creation Justice Ministries, Franciscan Action Network, Mennonite Central Committee, Presbyterian Church (USA), Sisters of Mercy Institute for Justice, the United Methodist General Board of Church and Society as well as United Methodist Women,  United Church of Christ  are all planning to support. The Episcopal, Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Mennonite Central Committee, and United Church of Christ also are planning denomination-specific activities. (This is an incomplete list. We welcome additions.)
