Striving for Peace and Justice is not an easy task. But it is a task we take seriously. The Episcopal Public Policy Network interacts with members of the United States Congress and the Administration to affect public policy change. There are also networks on the state level that interact with political leaders in state chambers to influence policy.

While each network is autonomous of the national EPPN, all of us work together to present the positions of The Episcopal Church through the acts of General Convention or Executive Council to our elected leaders.

Presently, there are state networks operating in a number of states (full list below). If you are interested in more information about state network activities, please contact the Episcopal Church’s Office of Government Relations or your state network. If you are interested in starting a new state network, contact the Episcopal Church’s Office of Government Relations.
