The Clergy Support Fund of the Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic is designed to help our clergy with specific financial needs: either in times of hardship or in times of professional growth. The fund can also be used for positive opportunities for development, restoration, and growth.

Jesus emphasized the importance of showing mercy and compassion to others, particularly the marginalized, oppressed and vulnerable. In the parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus tells the story of a man who, despite cultural animosities, extends mercy to a stranger in need.
