The Gathering: A Space for Asian American Ministries, a program of the Diocese of Los Angeles, is among 34 ministries funded by $689,500 in grants approved by the Episcopal Church's Executive Council at its October meeting. The grants were for new church starts and Mission Enterprise Zones. The Gathering's $20,000 grant was one of 11 "Seed Grants." Others were designated as Discernment Grants, Growth Grants and Harvest Grants. The program was authorized by Resolutions A005 and A032 at General Convention in 2018 for new and continued funding for new worshipping communities and missional enterprise ventures throughout the Episcopal Church. The resolutions particularly call on these new communities to connect with under-represented groups, including youth and young adults, differently abled persons, people identifying as members of LGBTQIA+ communities, people of color, poor and working-class people, people with a high-school diploma or less, and/or people with little or no church background or involvement. Of 52 applications, 34 were fully or partially funded. Read more here.
