EPR institutional department<\/p>\n

Diakonia and Development Department<\/h2>\n

The department expresses the Church\u2019s service to people in need through social justice, inclusion, livelihoods, humanitarian action and community development.<\/p>\n<\/header>\n

\n

Mandate and approach<\/h2>\n

EPR\u2019s published profile describes diakonia as service to people in need and identifies justice and equal opportunities as central concerns. It also recognises the Church\u2019s role in the economic development of its members, the growth of the Church and wider community development.<\/p>\n

The department\u2019s work is described as connecting the Church\u2019s strategic priorities with practical interventions involving households, parishes, presbyteries and other EPR structures.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
