Strengthening Our Companion Ties in the Dominican Republic

The Rev. Jason Roberson recently returned from attending the annual meeting of the board of directors of the Dominican Development Group (DDG) in Santo Domingo. The Episcopal Church in South Carolina is a companion diocese of the Dominican Episcopal Church, and Fr. Roberson, who is Assistant Rector at Holy Cross Faith Memorial Episcopal Church in Pawleys Island, has been appointed by Bishop Adams to serve as our diocesan representative on the DDG board.  

Over the past 20 years, our diocese has had a consistent presence on the DDG board as well as with mission work in the Dominican Republic. For more information, visit the DDG website, www.dominicandevelopmentgroup.org or the Dominican Episcopal Church website, www.iglepidom.org. For information about diocesan mission opportunities in the Domincan Republic, please email Fr. Roberson at jroberson@holycrossfm.org.
