Episcopal Community Services of Long Island, 1927

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:

1. Practice of compassion and justice
2. Commitment to excellence in service delivery and organizational management
3. Commitment to stewardship of resources
