Dioceses of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America
Encyclopedia
The Episcopal Church
is governed by a General Convention and consists of 100 diocese
s in the United States
proper, plus ten dioceses in other countries or outlying U.S. territories and the Convocation of Episcopal Churches in Europe, which is similar to a diocese.
Each is led by a bishop
. A diocese includes all the congregations within its borders, which usually correspond to a state
or a portion of a state. Some dioceses includes portions of more than one state. For example the Diocese of Washington
includes Washington, D.C.
and part of Maryland
.
The naming convention for the domestic dioceses, for the most part, is after the state in which they are located or a portion of that state (for example, Northern Michigan
or West Texas
).
Usually (though not always), in a state where there is more than one diocese, the area where the Episcopal Church (or Church of England
before the American Revolution
) started in that state is the diocese that bears the name of that state. For example, the Church of England's first outpost in what is now Georgia
was in Savannah
, hence the Diocese of Georgia
is based in Savannah.
There are, however, many dioceses named for their see city or another city in the diocese. A few are named for a river, island, valley or other geographical feature. The list below includes the see
city in parentheses if different from the name of the diocese or unclear from its name.
The see city usually has a cathedral
, often the oldest parish in that city, but some dioceses do not have a cathedral. The dioceses of Iowa and Minnesota each have two cathedrals. Occasionally the diocesan offices and the cathedral are in separate cities.
The dioceses are grouped into nine province
s, the first eight of which, for the most part, correspond to regions of the U.S.
Province IX is composed of dioceses in Latin America
. Province II and Province VIII also include dioceses outside of the U.S.
