Thank you for inquiring about the ECDplus Online database.

		The Episcopal Clerical Directory 2005, published every two years, is a bound book plus searchable and exportable database on CD-ROM. It offers biographical and other data provided by clergy members and parishes. Please visit the Church Publishing Bookstore to purchase a copy of the book. For privacy reasons, the print/CD-ROM edition contains much more biographical information than we can make available in this online edition. However, this site is regularly updated, so some online data may be newer. Church Publishing cannot guarantee accuracy of biographical data.

You are not authorized to access or query the ECDPlus database through the use of automated electronic processes. The data provided in the ECDPlus database is provided for information and legitimate, good faith communication purposes only.

What if I am not listed?

There are several possible reasons you might not find yourself in this listing:

• You are recently ordained, that is, after September 2002.
• You did not receive an update form in December 2002. This is especially possible for local clergy and vocational deacons who are in non-stipendiary positions. If you did not receive one, please write to us under the category "Your Comments."
• You are being ordained in the next few months. No data is entered until after the actual event and after ordination information is submitted to the Recorder of Ordinations at the Church Pension Fund. Changes in canonical residence or ordination information are made by the Recorder of Ordinations, who informs Church Publishing that a written confirmation is on file from the diocese.
• You are not canonically resident in ECUSA. In order to be listed in the Episcopal Clerical Directory, you must be a bishop, priest, or deacon in good standing, and canonically resident in one of the dioceses of The Episcopal Church in the United States of America.
• You have transferred to a diocese in another province of the Anglican Communion. Clergy in good standing who have transferred to another province of the Anglican Communion are identified with the phase "transferred out of ECUSA" and will not appear again in the Episcopal Clerical Directory unless their work brings them back to ECUSA.
