The National Episcopal Church Women and its local groups are ministries of the Episcopal Church
Since 1871, the National Episcopal Church Women, ECW, have championed women’s rights and the Christian foundation of God and family. They are a ministry of the Episcopal Church and celebrate that Episcopalians believe in a loving, liberating, and life-giving God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Their women’s ministry and children’s programs feed, educate, and provide community grants around the world. They are a volunteer organization that creates a legacy for Episcopal Church Women to lead future generations with stewardship in Christ.
Serving women and girls since 1871
This past October, the National Board met in Baltimore, MD. This was their first in-person meeting since the Triennial meeting back in June. Their time was spent largely with business matters, but they did find time to tour the National Cathedral. During the meeting President Bortner shared her vision for the board. Some of the significant points included offering spiritually centered programs, providing leadership training, developing social justice programs, sponsoring a national service project and developing a national directory of Episcopal Church Women.
The next board meeting is scheduled for: January 17-21, 2025 – Province IV – Birmingham, Alabama.
