Seven Episcopal dioceses have requested and received assessment waivers, meaning they will not be required to pay the full 15% of diocesan revenue to support the churchwide budget in 2026.
Those waivers were approved by Executive Council at its Oct. 20-21 meeting at Kanuga, the Episcopal conference center and camp in the Diocese of Western North Carolina. The seven dioceses that received waivers are Albany, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Florida, Navajoland, New Jersey and Southwest Florida.
An eighth diocese, Puerto Rico, has also requested a waiver from paying its full assessment, but Executive Council chose not to approve that request yet, allowing more time for discussions between churchwide leaders and diocesan officials. Executive Council, the church’s interim governing body, did not specify why Puerto Rico had requested a waiver. To read more, click here.
