EPISCOPAL CHURCH WOMEN
EPISCOPAL CHURCH WOMEN
The Episcopal Church Women (ECW) was first recognized as an independent group in 1985. ECW evolved from the Women’s Auxiliary Missionary Society, whose first national Triennial meeting was held in 1874. Much of the early work involved fundraising in support of female missionaries, eventually leading to the formation of the United Thank Offering. The United Thank Offering (UTO) continues to be a significant mission supported by ECW to this day.
