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.

Make plans for the 2008
Annual Gathering

Date: Saturday, October 4, 2008
Location: Good Shepherd, Wichita
Speaker: Sybil MacBeth
Topic: "Praying in Color"

MacBeth has written a book, "Praying in Color: Drawing a New Path to God." Her background as a math teacher, dancer and the wife an Episcopal priest led her to develop a new prayer practice. It is described as "active because you draw your prayers, visual because you see your prayers and meditative because you revisit your prayers throughout the day." Visit her web site for more information.

Registration forms for the Annual Gathering will be sent to all parishes and ECW representatives by Aug. 1.
