As the social service agency of the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island, the Episcopal Community Services of Long Island (ECS) has a service philosophy that flows from the demands of our Anglican tradition[1] enshrined in the call to:
- Strive for justice and peace among all people,
- Respect the dignity of every human being,
- Respond to human need by loving service, and
- Seek to transform the unjust structures of society.
Interwoven into our provision of services and our life as an agency, are three basic practices that represent these values:
- Practice of compassion and justice
- Commitment to excellence in service delivery and organizational management
- Commitment to stewardship of resources
