2023 Annual Conference Details

“You ask the question what’s in it for me?
You’ll only meet 700 amazing Christians who will transform and inspire your ministry for the rest of your life. Oh! I might try that.”

The Rev. Dr. Sam Wells, Vicar, St. Martin-in-the-Fields, and 2023 Conference Keynote Speaker

“For parishes thinking about becoming an EPN member, I say give it a try! Take it to your vestry and show them how it can change your ministry. It’s changing mine.”

The Rev. Tommy Thompson, Rector, Washington Memorial Chapel: The Episcopal Church at Valley Forge

“EPN membership helps us talk to other people from other parishes who are struggling with the same things...great pollination of what’s going on in the Episcopal Church and a renewal being with other Episcopalians.”

Ms. Rosie Thompson, Sponsor, Watts and Co., London (UK)

``The 2024 EPN Conference has been the best one thus far! Just when I think that the EPN network has outdone itself, the next conference is even better!``

The Rev. Canon M. Chanta Bhan, Canon for Discipleship, Episcopal Diocese of Virginia, Mayo Memorial Church House

“I’m slightly worried about where the church is going … but EPN is helping me stay informed about the future and how to navigate it.”
