Index of Select Programs for U.S. Regional and Local Ecumenical Bodies

Excerpt from the 2001 Edition of the Yearbook of American and Canadian Churches:

Directories Section, CHAPTER 7
Index of Select Programs for U.S. Regional and Local Ecumenical Bodies

Introduction to the Index

For many years the Yearbook of American & Canadian Churches has published the previous chapter, the “Directory of U.S. Regional and Local Ecumenical Bodies.”  Each entry of that directory contains a brief description of the diverse programs offered by each agency. However, researchers, pastors, service organizations and theological seminaries often inquire about specific programs and about which agencies carry out such programs. In response we have created this chapter, which indexes the various regional and local ecumenical agencies by twenty-five different program areas.  These program areas are the twenty-five that have been the most frequent subjects of inquiry in our office. We have collected this program information directly from these organizations by means of a simple response form. There is an enormous diversity of ministries and missions conducted by these diverse organizations.  Most organizations pursue several kinds of programs at once.  However, some of these may focus their efforts most especially on only one of their programs; their other programs may be less well developed than their specialty. Consequently, the extent to which any of these ministries is a priority for any particular organization cannot be inferred from this list.  For detailed information about the nature and extent of any particular ministry, the reader is urged to contact the organization directly using the directory of “U.S. Regional and Local Ecumenical Bodies,” which is found in the pages just prior to this index.
