In accord with the Great Commission (Matthew 28: 18-20) world mission is of the essence of the Church. Companions in World Mission was established in 1973 as a missionary organization composed of individuals and representatives of Episcopal churchs and other organization in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.As followers of Our Lord Jesus Christ, working with Anglican churches and with churches in communion with the See of Canterbury, we believe that we are called upon to share our material resources where they are often grievously needed. In turn we share in the abundant spiritual resources that we encounter and make them known in the Washington area through visitors, personal interchange, and other forms of communication.
