CPG's data collection and analysis have yielded enormous amounts of information. Here's a sample of findings so far:
- Episcopal employers typically provide healthcare benefits to clergy and lay employees who are working 1,500 hours per year (i.e., full-time employees).
- 100% of clergy working full-time report having health insurance from one source or another. Almost 83% get their healthcare benefits through the Episcopal Church.
- 96% of full-time lay employees have health insurance. 64% of these get their healthcare benefits through the Episcopal Church. However, 350 lay employees (about 4% of those working more than 1,500 hours per year) do not have any healthcare coverage from any source.
- 45% of all congregations report having no employees who are eligible for benefits. Thus, they would be largely unaffected by any mandate directed at providing healthcare benefits for full-time employees.
- Transitional-, program-, and resource-sized congregations* account for only 25% of the total number of Episcopal congregations. However, 50% of full-time clergy and as many as 60% of full-time lay employees are working in these churches.
