May 28, 2014, New York, NY -- The Episcopal Church Foundation has named its 2014 Fellows who bring an exciting vision and passion for the future of the Episcopal Church.

Later this year ECF will kick off a celebration of the Fellowship Partners Program’s 50th year of supporting emerging scholars and ministry leaders so they can pursue studies and ministries they might not otherwise be able to, and share their knowledge and learning with the wider Church.

“When we look back on 50 years of ECF Fellows we are amazed at the impact they have had at all levels of the Episcopal Church,” said Donald V. Romanik, ECF President. "This year’s recipients continue the legacy of dedication, passion, and vision for the Church that is embodied by all our ECF Fellows."

"ECF is thrilled to be able to name five Fellows on this 50th anniversary of the ECF Fellowship Partners Program,” said Miguel Escobar, Senior Program Director. “The 2014 class of Fellows are broadening our theological understanding of justice, exploring ethical concerns related to international aid work, strengthening the church's connection to public health, networking innovative leadership initiatives, and building a lay leadership network among Chinese-American Episcopal communities of faith. Together they are exploring issues that will be of critical importance to the life of the Episcopal Church in the next fifty years."
