The Executive Council of The Episcopal Church is an elected body representing the whole church and is composed of twenty members elected by General Convention (four bishops, four presbyters or deacons, and twelve lay leaders) and eighteen members elected by Episcopal provinces. They are charged with the duty to carry out programs and policies adopted by General Convention and to oversee the ministry and mission of The Episcopal Church. In the three years between General Conventions, the Executive Council meets quarterly.

Minutes of Executive Council and other reporting governing bodies comprise the majority of these records. Organizations represented in these records include the Joint Program Planning Committee (1959-1966) and the Council on Ministry. Two non-Episcopal organizations are also represented. The first of these, the Career Development Council was an ecumenical career counseling organization in which The Episcopal Church participated. The Executive Council commissioned the second organization, the Bureau of Applied Social Research of Columbia University, to conduct a study called "Anglican Opportunities in South America."
