Our Province defines, in part, how the Episcopal dioceses in New England work together through networking, sharing resources, and establishing collaborative ministries. We have a history of working closely and well together, creating new initiatives and offering them not only to our own dioceses but also to the Church at large. We believe that there are things we can do better together rather than
separately. We gather leaders from the dioceses around common ministry foci. We also have informal groups focused on projects or special initiatives. Members come together for leadership development, formation opportunities, and sharing of resources. Our Provincial Coordinator and Executive Committee support and facilitate connection between Province 1's lay and ordained ministers. We meet as a Conference. The Conference of the Province consists of the House of Delegates and the House of Bishops. Lay and clergy Delegates are elected, three from each diocese, and all New England bishops are members. These two Houses come together at least once each year to further the work of the Church and regulate all business of the Province. We invite new possibilities. Our Province is called into a re-visioned place of empowering the ministry of all baptized, laity and clergy together. We are working together to take the spark of our renewed vision into the our communities and our world with all the extraordinary opportunities God provides. We invite you to be part of that adventure by gathering with us in cyberspace and face to face!
