"The Asset Map is a visual catalog of The Episcopal Church at
large, enabling diocesan leaders, church members and church seekers
alike to see at a glance and in depth what the Church's presence looks
like in their area, both infrastructure and programs," said Abagail
Nelson, Episcopal Relief & Development's Senior Vice President of
Programs. "It has wide-ranging potential to facilitate the development
of new ministries and partnerships, and support the mobilization of
resources and expertise."
The interactive map displays pins for each church. Clicking on a pin provides contact information and descriptions of programs at that particular location. Scan and search functions help users find ministries in their area or across the country. This short video helps explain how the Asset Map works.
The Diocese of Southern Virginia is actively participating in
the Episcopal Asset Map project. Bishop Hollerith has asked churches
to designate someone to help manage their presence on the map.
Communications Officer Ann Turner is the diocesan map administrator.
Please contact her if you have any questions about the Asset Map, aturner@diosova.org.
Whether you have just begun a food pantry and are looking for
churches that have done the same, or you are dreaming of teaming up
with another church to create a new ministry, the Episcopal Asset Map
can be a valuable resource. Our diocesan page can be found at http://edsva.episcopalassetmap.org/.
