Affiliated Groups

Province One supports many networks and groups of faithful Episcopalians, working to accomplish God's mission in  the seven dioceses of New England, the wider church, and the world.  Some groups are formed around a specific project, only for a short time.  Others are on-going, supported with resources from our dioceses, Province, and the wider Church.

Anti-Racism Network

Mr. Bates Lyons    ablyonsden@aol.com 

We assist our dioceses in carrying out our Church's commitment to provide all leaders with basic anti-racism training. We coordinate and assist with programs that address individual and personal issues, such as white privilege and interlocking oppressions, and are creating opportunities for us to come together to meet the challenge of addressing institutional oppression in our church structures.
