Mission Center: The Episcopal Church: Partnerships

Global Mission Networks and Organizations

Episcopalians and Anglicans around the world have started faith-based organizations to carry out God’s work in the world. These networks connect individuals and groups that are active in global mission, helping them provide loans to small businesses in needy countries, to bring doctors to those with no access to medical care, and to more effectively support places of higher learning. By working together, we strengthen the relationships between the Episcopal Church and other dioceses and provinces of the Anglican Communion. By reaching out, we can form new communities, learn from one another, and assist each other in times of need. Listed below are some of the Episcopal Church Global Mission Networks andOrganizations:
