The Joint Standing Committee on Program, Budget and Finance is asking the church for its opinion of the proposed budget before we get to the General Convention The draft budget for The Episcopal Church in the 2019-2021 triennium was approved by The Episcopal Church Executive Council at its January meeting.
In the current and prior triennia, the budgets were built to reflect the Five Marks of Mission. The 2019-2021 budget is based on The Jesus Movement with Evangelism, Racial Reconciliation & Justice, and Environmental Stewardship as priorities. Both budget formats include allocations for mission inside the Episcopal Church, mission beyond the Episcopal Church, and governance, legal, financial, operations, and the ministry of the Presiding Bishop, although they are called by different names.
One advantage of The Jesus Movement budget is that it reflects how the staff is organized, by department, rather than spread across Five Marks and other areas as in the past. So lines of communication, reporting, collaboration, and budget creation are clearer.
