Social activist Mattie Hopkins launched the inaugural meeting of the Epis- copal Urban Caucus Feb. 14 with a keynote speech telling the 500 participants to "design your marching orders and then go forward to implement them." The four-day conference in Indianapolis sought to pave the way for a resurgence of Episcopal Church urban activism growing out of the work of the Urban Bishops Coalition and the Church and City Conference.
