Diocesan, Regional and Congregational Representatives
A Message from the ERD Diocesan Coordinator:
We are well on our way to making Episcopal Relief and Development a part of every congregation's outreach ministry in the Diocese of Florida. As you see however, we have to work on placing Congregational Representatives in every parish, mission and chapel in the Diocese of Florida. If you would have an interest in representing your congregation as an ERD Congregational Representative please speak to your Rector or Vicar. Contact me for the job description and other materials you will need to get started. If you want to contact your ERD Regional Coordinator please email me and I will give you the contact information.
