This Diocese has an extraordinary history and a dynamic future.

There is truly a revolutionary spirit in this Diocese. When people think of the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania, they think of the birth of the Episcopal Church, the founding of our Country, William White, Absalom Jones, the Philadelphia 11, justice and hope.
