Specialties
The Episcopal Diocese of Washington is a vibrant community of Episcopal congregations, schools and affiliated organizations in the District of Columbia and the Maryland counties of Montgomery, Prince George’s, Charles and St. Mary’s.
History
Established in 1895.
The Diocese of Washington was once part of the Diocese of Maryland. In 1893, the U.S. Congress granted a charter to the Protestant Episcopal Cathedral Foundation of the District of Columbia to build an Episcopal cathedral in Washington (Washington National Cathedral). In 1895, the Diocese of Maryland was subdivided to create the Diocese of Washington.
Today, the Diocese of Washington is made up of around 40,000 members in 88 parishes and Washington National Cathedral. It has one mission, St. Barnabas Church of the Deaf, three university chaplaincies, seven Latino congregations and a new Sierra Leonean Worshipping Community. Twenty Episcopal schools also are affiliated with the diocese.
