EPGM Covenants

EPGM Covenants

Each member organization formally endorses these four covenants:

  1. Partnership in Mission - In a spirit of respect and cooperation within the Body of Christ, we covenant to accept as a norm the receiving of appropriate invitation or permission from the relevant Anglican ecclesiastical authority, before engaging in a program or sending persons into an area where an Anglican body exists.
  2. Theological Diversity - Desiring to avoid untested assumptions about one another, we will seek to understand our various mission theologies by committing time and resources to listen and talk together with honesty and mutual respect.
  3. Unreached Peoples - We want to promote a vision throughout the Anglican Communion to work for the extension of the Church among groups where the gospel of Christ is not known, both within Anglican dioceses and beyond Anglican dioceses.
  4. Information Sharing - We covenant to share mission information on projects and procedures relative to recruiting, screening, selecting, training and placing missionaries. We further covenant to explore ways of coordinating our activities in order to encourage cooperation and discourage unhealthy competitive attitudes in the world mission field.
