2022 Parochial Report Data Now Available

A message from Canon Michael Barlowe, Secretary of the General Convention and Executive Officer:

Information from the 2022 Parochial Reports are now available. I encourage you to explore the data, and the trends and insights available. New this year is information on churches founded since 2000, providing a barometer of The Episcopal Church's church-planting efforts of nearly a quarter of a century. Further analysis of the narrative questions and other data will be found on our website. I am grateful to the Rev. Dr. Molly James, Ms. Iris DiLeonardo, and the analysts who helped prepare this information for the church, and we hope it will be use widely in planning mission and ministry for the future.

You can view the data from the most recent Parochial Report on the General Convention website.
