Who we are The Episcopal Church Women of the Diocese of Kansas represents all women in the parishes of this diocese, whether or not they are part of an organized ECW group, by virtue of their baptism and confirmation. We are committed to one another and called to be witnesses for Christ. Our challenge is to provide a safe place where every person is free to become the person Christ created her to be. We are called. We are different. We are one body. The purpose of the Episcopal Church Women organization is to assist the women of the Episcopal Church to carry on Christ's work of reconciliation in the world and to take their place as leaders in the life, governance and worship of the church. How we operate The life of Episcopal Church Women begins in the local congregation and continues at the diocesan, provincial and national levels. Each has its own unique characteristics which enable the mission and ministry of women. Episcopal Church Women are an integral part of the Episcopal Church, which is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion.

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. |
