All Women in the Episcopal Church are Episcopal Church Women

Bishop John Bryson Chane Scholarship
Five Awards Made for 2017

The Bishop John Bryson Chane Scholarship for Social Justice was established by the Episcopal Church Women's (ECW) Board to recognize graduating high school seniors in the Diocese of Washington who have shown an interest in social justice issues. This year's recipients include Katherine V. Ericson from St. Nicholas Episcopal Church, Arrington Peterson from St. Mark's Episcopal Church, Peggy Price from St. Timothy's Episcopal Church, Rebecca Riggs from Church of the Redeemer, and Justin Walker from Christ Church Clinton. The ECW Board is proud to recognize these young people in the amount of $1000 each and we wish them well in their first year of college.
