SUPPORT FOR EPISCOPAL
RELIEF & DEVELOPMENT
Episcopalians throughout the
Church are proud of the work of
Episcopal Relief & Development,
now in its 75th year of responding to disasters and empowering
people to create lasting solutions
to poverty, hunger, and disease.
Among the ways the Domestic
and Foreign Missionary Society
supports the work of Episcopal
Relief & Development is through
the cost-free contribution of office space in New York City and
the contribution of 0.7% of the
churchwide budget to Episcopal
Relief & Development programming.
EPISCOPAL SERVICE CORPS (ESC)
The Episcopal Service Corps is
a network of local programs that
engage young adults in missionary service in communities in
the United States. While not a
part of the Domestic and Foreign
Missionary Society or subject to
DFMS governance, ESC is a longtime partner that we currently
support through a $200,000 grant
designated by the triennial budget.
GOOD FRIDAY OFFERING
The Missionary Society annually
organizes the Good Friday Offering to support the ministries of
the Province of Jerusalem and the
Middle East in education, health
care, and parish development.
Bringing together congregations
throughout The Episcopal Church,
the Good Friday Offering has sent
nearly $1 million to the Church in
the Holy Land and surrounding
areas during this triennium.
