C007 Support for the Provinces as Part of The Episcopal Church Structure
Province IX currently receives funding from TEC; therefore, Province IX is not included in this request.
Provinces are part of The Episcopal Church structure; and this relationship has the potential to strengthen other relationships of TEC (church wide programs and ministries) with the Dioceses. The Province is committed to strengthening the connections between the Dioceses within the Province as well as with the wider Episcopal Church. The responsibility for the functioning of the Province is shared between the Dioceses in the Province and the wider Episcopal Church. Part of the responsibility involves the financial support that helps to enable the ministry of the Province.
in order for the system to work the best it can, each part must be cared for. This resolution offers one concrete way of supporting the Provincial part of the system called The Episcopal Church.
