  • United Thank Offering (UTO) - It is the mission of the United Thank Offering to raise the consciousness of the whole church to the daily discipline of offering thanks to God through the use of the blue box and to distribute the fruits of those thank offerings.
  • Contemplative Outreach is the opening of mind and heart - our whole being - to God, the Ultimate Mystery, beyond thoughts, words and emotions, whom we know by faith is within us, closer than breathing, thinking, feeling and choosing; even closer than consciousness itself.
  • Millennium Development Goals - Welcome to globalgood.org, a resource portal for Episcopalians working together to support the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and to reduce global poverty .

    This web site seeks to help you engage these efforts, which frame the justice and peace work that General Convention has designated as the Episcopal Church's top mission priority for 2007-2009. Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori further defines the Church's first priority as “the kind of deed-based evangelism that shows the world the good "_blank"s of God's love through the actions of Christians. We cannot speak much in the way of good "_blank"s to people who are starving or dying of preventable disease or living in slums.”
