The Executive Council has the duty to carry out programs and policies adopted by General Convention. It is the duty of Executive Council to oversee the ministry and mission of the Church. The Executive Council is comprised of twenty members elected by General Convention (four bishops, four priests or deacons and twelve laypersons) and eighteen members elected by provincial synods, half ordained, half lay.
