ONE Episcopalian Congregation
We are a ONE Church Congregation committed to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals.
What is ONE Church?
In 2006, the General Convention declared the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to be the top mission priority of the Episcopal Church. The ONE Episcopalian Campaign represents a partnership between the Episcopal Church and the ONE Campaign. Joining together, we strive to end extreme global poverty and achieve the eight MDGs set by the United Nations and affirmed by every nation in the world.
What are the Millennium Development Goals?
- Cut in half the number of people who live on less than $1 per day; cut in half the number of hungry people
- Ensure that girls and boys everywhere are able to complete primary school
- Eliminate discrimination against women in education
- Reduce by two-thirds the number of children who die before age 5
- Reduce by 75% the number of women who die as a result of pregnancy and childbirth
