About the Overseas Committee

The work of the Overseas Committee is far-reaching both physically and spiritually. Physically because it supports church projects and people all over the world; spiritually because it enables the SEC to reach out in prayer and commitment to the needs of the wider church community, and to be challenged by it.

The Committee is accountable for the funds it holds and its principles are:

  • To increase general awareness in the SEC of overseas issues
  • To foster partnerships with mission projects and people overseas
  • To promote the sharing of spirituality and understanding with overseas partners
  • To experience and receive the wider church and express the SEC’s commitment to it
  • To enable, empower and respond to needs, through support and solidarity.

Every congregation, large or small, and every diocese, has a share in the committee’s work.
