Spirituality Sustains Oil Protest

The Episcopal Church is the only denomination displaying its flag on a fence among those of Native tribes at the main encampment, Floberg said. The Rt. Rev. Michael G. Smith, Bishop of North Dakota, and the Rt. Rev. John T. Tarrant, Bishop of South Dakota, have visited the camp to express support. Floberg visits regularly. He opts not to lead public prayers or celebrate the Eucharist there, but he makes a point to swap out his usual tee-shirt for his clerical shirt and collar.
