The Diocese of Quincy has been the Episcopal Church in West Central Illinois since 1877.
Faithful members of the Episcopal Church in the
Diocese of Quincy... X I have had the privilege to serve as the Provisional Bishop of this diocese for the past three years. During that period I've visited every church in the diocese numerous times, and attempted to meet as many of you as possible. You've told me of the opportunities you see for your congregations, as well as the challenges facing Christians in a changing world. From you, I have learned much. Out of those conversations comes one thing of which I am certain; the Episcopal Church is alive and thriving in the head, heart and prayers of everyone of you. The statement, "I am an Episcopalian" is spoken with pride in West Central Illinois. May God continue to bless you. To those of you considering the Episcopal Church as your new spiritual home... I invite you to get to know us, and discover what others have learned about the Episcopal Church. Our history is one to be proud of, and our future is inclusive of all God's people. Please contact one of our churches near you, and ask what it means to be an Episcopalian. Or contact my office and we'll answer any questions you have about the Episcopal Church, and how you might find your place in it. May God walk with you on your spiritual journey. Bp. John C.
