Presiding
Bishop’s Fund for World Relief
The Presiding Bishop's Fund for World Relief is a major
response by the Episcopal Church to God's call to serve Christ
in all persons, to love our neighbors, and to respect the
dignity of every human being. The Fund raises, receives and
uses funds for the relief of human suffering. The Fund
provides emergency relief in times of disaster; it assists in
the rehabilitation of lives, property, and organizations; and
it joins in partnership with those who identify and address
root causes of suffering. |
