It meets bi- or triennially and is developing communications using available technology to provide greater sharing of mutual justice concerns. This network of Episcopalians assists the church in carrying out programs in support of General Convention's witness on matters of global concerns. The Network has hosted conferences, developed resources, and made site visits outside of the United States.
Current focus includes globalization.
The Office of Government Relations Located on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., the Office of Government Relations brings the positions of the Episcopal Church to the nation's lawmakers. The office represents the social policies established by the General Convention and Executive Council, including issues of international peace and justice, human rights, immigration, welfare, poverty, hunger, health care, violence, civil rights, environment and anti-racism. The office serves as a resource for the Presiding Bishop, dioceses, standing committees and commissions, and Episcopalians across the country by providing information on current legislation, Administration policies, political analysis, government structure and process, and the Church's position on social issues. Members of the EPPN receive policy alerts updating them on what is happening in Washington, the Church's position on public policies, and techniques and information on contacting their government leaders. Membership is free.
