 About EVN
Every Voice Network (EVN) is
a registered 501c-3 non-profit organization and is sustained
by donations from individuals, parishes, dioceses and
foundations supplemented by earned income from the sale
of products and services like via media.
EVN is
a national ministry dedicated to growing the Episcopal Church
by embracing the Anglican via
media, which discerns God's will and work
among us through the dynamic interaction of Scripture, traditions,
and reflection upon our own communal experience of reality.
Moving beyond a preoccupation with internal church politics
and institutional maintenance, EVN seeks
to reinvigorate the Church's commitment to serve the world
beyond its walls.
Congregations that embrace the gospel ethic of radical hospitality,
healing, and justice for all people are on the frontier of
the church's mission, capable of reaching out to the growing
number of "un-churched" seekers. Our mission is to provide
education and evangelism
resources to such congregations, creating a network of individuals,
congregations, dioceses, and partnering organizations committed
to proclaiming the Gospel to a world desperately in need
of good news.
Every Voice Network is committed to enhancing the scope and effectiveness of the ministry of the Episcopal Church through cooperative ventures with congregations, dioceses, agencies and advocacy groups. Whether providing web services for Integrity and Claiming the Blessing, Episcopalians for Global Reconciliation and the Episcopal Alliance of Parishes Fighting AIDS in Africa, EVN serves as an incubator and catalyst for creative ministry initiatives.

She has been a consultant to publishing, typesetting and design companies. She was the first woman in the 350 member North Jackson Rotary Club and was appointed to numerous local and statewide civic and business leadership boards.
