Holy Trinity Episcopal Church of International Falls has so far collected around 600 pairs of shoes for charity.
Lee Grim, an ordained deacon at Holy Trinity, said local residents from the Falls, Littlefork and all around the area have joined the Episcopal Diocese in the largest statewide shoe collection program of its kind in Minnesota history.
“That is the wonderful thing about it,” said Grim. “The community is so giving.”

WARROAD, Minn. (AP) — A reverend in Warroad is testing the prohibition against preaching politics from the pulpit.
The Reverend Gus Booth told the Warroad Community Church on Sunday that not only should they vote for Republican John McCain, they should also campaign for him.
Booth was participating in an event called ‘‘Pulpit Freedom Sunday’’ that was organized by the Alliance Defense Fund, a group of conservative legal advocates.
Booth says McCain’s positions line up more closely with Biblical teachings on homosexuality and abortion than do those of Democrat Barack Obama.

Holy Trinity Episcopal Church of International Falls has joined the 106 other churches of the Episcopal Diocese of Minnesota in conducting the largest statewide shoe collection program of its kind in Minnesota history.
The program started on Sept. 7, and extends through Oct. 24, and will be held in conjunction with Soles4Souls, a Nashville-based international charity that will distribute the shoes to the desperate and needy victims of the current hurricane season.
