Episcopal Relief and Development
Episcopal Relief and Development is a compassionate response of the Episcopal Church to human suffering in the world, established in 1940 by the Episcopal Church in the United States as the Presiding Bishop's Fund for World Relief. Its original mission was to assist refugees fleeing Europe during World War II. In 2000, its name was changed to Episcopal Relief and Development to emphasize ongoing emergency relief work and a growing focus on long-term development and rehabilitation programs.
