The Episcopal Partnership for Global Mission (EPGM) enables Episcopalians to participate in God's global mission. Since 1835, all Episcopalians have been members of the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society of the Episcopal Church. EPGM stimulates reflection and action on the basis of that common mission commitment.
EPGM was inaugurated in April 2000 with the participation of more than fifty mission-related organizations, including congregations, dioceses, voluntary agencies, networks and Executive Council. It builds on the Episcopal Council for Global Mission, formed in 1990, by drawing diverse mission efforts into a recognized relationship with General Convention and Executive Council. Affirming a shared theology of mission, EPGM implements tested covenants, carries out defined functions, fosters relationships in the Anglican Communion, and operates as a collaborative and non-hierarchical network.
