What We Do

The Society makes grants of books as follows

We give books at no charge whatever, we even pay shipping and handling

We give books to worshipping communities –

• New starts or parishes needing to replace worn-out books

• Financially struggling or expanding parishes

• Parishes which have suffered from natural disasters such as flood, fire or earthquake

• We define “worshipping communities” as –

  • Local congregations

  • Congregations in the Armed Forces served by Episcopal Chaplains

  • Congregations served by Chaplains who are priests or deacons of the Episcopal Church and ministering in:

    • Prisons

    • Nursing homes and other health-related facilities

    • Educational institutions, such as colleges and universities

    • Other worshiping communities on a case-by-case basis
