The Episcopal Church has a commitment to justice and peace in the world that is expressed in our baptismal covenant, our catechism, our prayers and our worship. That commitment also is expressed through many legislative acts of our General Convention and resolves of our Executive Council.
This office supports Episcopal, Anglican, ecumenical and interfaith efforts to restore justice, seek reconciliation, and overcome violence in the world.

Among other responsibilities, the program officer serves as:
· Episcopal Church representative on the Anglican Peace and Justice Network (APJN);
· Episcopal Church liaison to the Advisory Council for the Anglican United Nations Observer’s office;
