INDEX OF SELECT<br />
PROGRAMS<br />
Index <strong>of</strong> Select Programs for U.S.<br />
Regional <strong>and</strong> Local Ecumenical Bodies<br />
For many years the <strong>Yearbook</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>American</strong> & <strong>Canadian</strong> <strong>Churches</strong> has published the previous chapter,<br />
The Directory <strong>of</strong> U.S. Regional <strong>and</strong> Local Ecumenical Bodies. Each entry <strong>of</strong> that directory contains<br />
a brief description <strong>of</strong> the diverse programs <strong>of</strong>fered by each agency. However, researchers, pastors,<br />
service organizations <strong>and</strong> theological seminaries <strong>of</strong>ten inquire about specific programs <strong>and</strong><br />
which agencies carry out such programs. In response we have created this chapter, which indexes<br />
the various regional <strong>and</strong> local ecumenical agencies by twenty-five different program areas. These<br />
program areas are the twenty-five that have been the most frequent subjects <strong>of</strong> inquiry in our <strong>of</strong>fice.<br />
We have collected this program information directly from these organizations by means <strong>of</strong> a simple<br />
response form. There is an enormous diversity <strong>of</strong> ministries <strong>and</strong> missions conducted by these diverse<br />
organizations. Most organizations pursue several kinds <strong>of</strong> programs at once. However, some <strong>of</strong><br />
these may focus their efforts most especially on only one <strong>of</strong> their programs; their other programs<br />
may be less well developed than their specialty. Consequently, the extent to which any <strong>of</strong> these ministries<br />
is a priority for any particular organization cannot be inferred from this list. For detailed<br />
information about the nature <strong>and</strong> extent <strong>of</strong> any particular ministry, the reader is urged to contact the<br />
organization directly using the directory <strong>of</strong> “U.S. Regional <strong>and</strong> Local Ecumenical Bodies,” which is<br />
found in the pages just prior to this index.<br />
