Executive Council of the DFMS

Records of the proceedings and directly supervised programs of the entities under the management of the Executive Council. Records include proceedings, minutes, reports, documents, governance records, and some administrative records. With the consolidation of executive powers under the primate after 1973, staff offices typically associated with the National/Executive Council were placed under the authority of the Presiding Bishop acting as mission program or administrative entities. These staff offices exist as a separate categories of mission program or in their administrative capacity with the DFMS.

Executive Council. Meeting Dockets

The Executive Council meeting dockets were generated through the work of the members and staff of the committees and commissions of the Executive Council. They include agendas, minutes of meetings, charters, status reports as well as financial statements and reports, budgets, and Treasurer's reports.

The records and reports reflect the policies of the General Convention as carried out and administered by the Executive Council as well as the structure and organization of the church.

Executive Council Committees and Administrative Units. Records

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."
