Mission Opportunities Announced
Episcopal News Service. October 17, 1996 [96-1596A]
(ENS) The Episcopal Church Mission Personnel Office recently announced that the church is seeking missioners to serve the worldwide mission of the Anglican Communion. Service is in one of two categories: Volunteers for Mission, who typically serve one to two years, supported primarily by their own local congregations or dioceses; and appointed missionaries, who make longer-term commitments (with a minimum of three years) and are supported both by their local congregations or dioceses and by the national church program. Missionaries serve under the authority of the host bishop and work in partnership with the local church. "As you look at the list, you can see that there are great needs and we're hoping that the people with the skills to match these needs will step forward and help out," said Dorothy Gist, Mission Personnel Officer. For more information, telephone the Mission Personnel office at (800) 334-7626 X5139. The full Mission Opportunities List will be available on Quest on October 21.
