Editor’s note: While the Episcopal Church did not participate in the shareholder action at the Exxon Mobile meeting, the Executive Council has instructed that the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society’s investment shares should be voted in support of resolutions that encourage reduction of climate risks and stewardship of the environment.
