• Colloquium Of Episcopal Professional And Vocational Associations (CEPVA) The Colloquium Of Episcopal Professional and Vocational Associations (CEPVA) is an umbrella organization representing the varied groups called to vocational ministry in the Episcopal Church: deacons, musicians, educators, priests, executive secretaries, bishops, communicators, and others who collaborate on matters of common concern. CEPVA had its beginnings in the mid-1990's with the encouragement of Presiding Bishop Edmond Browning.  From its start, CEPVA has been an important meeting ground for associations called to vocational ministry in the church.  Areas of concern continue to be: the creation of a church workplace that speaks to high standards of conduct, accountability, and justice as hallmarks of the church at its best; development of a theology of work; and service as a resource to dioceses and to one another in the mission and ministry of the church.  CEPVA operates as a voluntary association.  There are no dues.  Member groups send representatives to take part in CEPVA meetings.
