- Abstract: The Board of Missions was the administrative body of the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America (DFMS) from its incorporation in 1820 to its reorganization under the National Council structure in 1919. While the General Convention set the overall course of The Episcopal Church, the Board of Missions, headed by the Presiding Bishop, managed its day-to-day operations through various committees and sub-committees. The two most important of these committees were the Foreign Committee and the Domestic Committee, which supported and encouraged missionary operations both outside of and within the United States. They did so through the dispatch of missionaries to mission fields of interest to the church, the disbursement of funds and supplies to mission stations, and the advertisement of and fundraising for missionary efforts through the Board of Missions publication The Spirit of Missions.
