Applications are being accepted for Episcopal delegates to represent the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church at the 63rd Session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women
(UNCSW) in New York City, March 11 - 22, 2019. The priority theme for
this meeting is: "Social protection systems, access to public services
and sustainable infrastructure for gender equality and the empowerment
of women and girls."
The Episcopal delegation will consist of one delegate from each province of the Episcopal Church as well as a delegate from the Convocation of Episcopal Churches in Europe. The intent is to have the delegation as a whole reflect the diversity of the Episcopal Church, with priority given to those whose life experiences and advocacy speak most directly to the theme.
Delegates may be of any gender and at least 19 years old. Youth (ages 15-18) may also apply. Each youth must be accompanied by an adult chaperone, preferably a parent or legal guardian. Delegates are responsible for their own travel, housing, program expenses and fundraising. A limited amount of scholarship funding may be available. Following a review of the applications, Presiding Bishop Michael Curry will choose the delegates. All applicants will be notified by the end of November.
Complete information and application is available in English here and in Spanish here. Deadline is October 26. For more information contact Lynnaia Main, Episcopal Church Representative to the United Nations, lmain@episcopalchurch.org.
