Episcopal Diocese of Delaware
The Episcopal Diocese of Delaware is one of 108 dioceses making up the Episcopal Church in the United States of America. It consists of 34 congregations or Parishes in an area the same as the State of Delaware. The diocese is led by a bishop and staff and provides episcopal supervision and some administrative assistance for its parishes.
The current bishop, the tenth Bishop of Delaware, is Wayne P. Wright, who was consecrated bishop June 20, 1998, and succeeded C. Cabell Tennis upon the latter's retirement. The diocesan offices were located for many years at the Cathedral Church of Saint John, in Wilmington, Delaware. The cathedral closed in 2012, and the offices moved to 913 Wilson Road, Wilmington, DE the site of the former Saint Albans Church in 2014.
==History==
The Episcopal Diocese of Delaware dates its foundation to 1785, the first time a delegation was sent representing the diocese to the General Convention. Charles Wharton presided over the first state convention on September 26, 1786, at which it was decided to form a wholly separate diocese from that of the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania or the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland, but under the episcopal supervision of the Bishop of Pennsylvania. It is one of the nine original Dioceses of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America.
