Explanation:

The Theological Education for All (TEforALL) web site was initiated by the Council of Seminary Deans and is maintained by the Office of Ministry Development as the premier clearinghouse for resources and information regarding the breadth of theological education in The Episcopal Church. Today, resources from PEALL that address the history and future of educational formation for all age groups are also included on this web site. This Resolution provides funding for the ongoing design and maintenance of this valuable resource for providing significant value for the church's investment.
