ERD Network





The Network is a special group of Episcopal Relief and Development’s volunteers in the United States who actively advocate, support, and promote our ministry throughout Episcopal parishes, dioceses and seminaries. 

We have close to 3,000 Network members—consisting of diocesan coordinators, parish representatives, and seminarian coordinators.  Anyone can join the Network and work with ERD to alleviate human suffering.  We hope to have an ERD Network representative in every Episcopal congregation around the country:
  • Diocesan Coordinators are appointed by a local diocesan bishop. They promote ERD’s ministry within their diocese, recruit parish representatives, and help raise funds to support our work. Provincial Representatives are Diocesan Coordinators chosen by the Network Director to work as the liaisons and local experts with their fellow Diocesan Coordinators.
  • Parish Representatives share news about ERD’s mission and ministry with their congregations, providing Episcopalians with an opportunity to reach out to people in need. 
  • Seminarian Coordinators educate their peers about our work in places worldwide.

Are you interested in becoming a Network representative? You can play a significant role.
