DIOCESE OF CENTRAL NEW YORK
The Rev. Edward Hunt, frhunt@twcny.rr.com Ms. Susan Messenger, messengersusan74@gmail.com, Member of the Board of Trustees of GEMN.
The chairman of the Companion Diocese committee also takes a group of adults on a pilgrimage to El Salvador every year. Through all of the above activities more and more people in our diocese are feeling a commitment to and share the joy of the relationship. There are a number of people in the diocese who are working toward a relationship with the Diocese of Haiti. No specific plans are in place yet.
The Global Mission Committee is working on promoting the MDGs. The diocesan convention voted to give .7% of our budget for MDGs. That money is being offered to the parishes to match whatever they raise to address one or more of the MDGs.
We continue to send a medical mission team to El Salvador every year. A team of doctors, nurses, dentists and sometimes an optometrist visits five villages during a week's time there. The Rev. Virginia Doctor serves in Alaska.
