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.

Our Beliefs

“The Episcopal Church must become a place of belonging, not just a place of welcome.”

We have 134 congregations across 5 counties. Diverse, spirit-filled places of belonging. Find a church and people interested and involved in similar ministries so you can share ideas and strategies.

The Bishop

There is truly a revolutionary spirit in this diocese.

Our purpose is to know Jesus and change the world. We can do that by proclaiming the Gospel, empowering our churches, and addressing the pain and poverty. We have the gifts, resources, people, and faith. Together we are change agents for Christ.
