About Our Logo:

The Cross represents Christ and our service to Him in the world. The Circle stands for our hope for wholeness in our lives. The out flowing lines from the center depict the many works of the Episcopal Church Women, going out into the world. The intertwined lines represent our lives centered in Christ.

 

Who We Are:

How We Operate:

The life of Episcopal Church Women begins in the local congregation, continues at the diocesan, provincial and national levels.
