Bishop's Office and Visitations

Welcome

Welcome to the Episcopal Diocese of Washington. I hope this website will serve as both a window into the life and ministry of this community of Episcopalian Christians and a path for you to find your place among us.

As a newcomer myself, I can attest to the warmth of welcome and spiritual depth you will experience in the congregations, schools and ministries of this diocese. And I invite you to join us—to grow in faith and love, to find peace and strength in a complex and fast-paced world, to serve Christ as he would have us serve, in the ways we care for one another and strive for justice.

Our Find a Church search engine can help you locate a worshipping community near you, whether you are just visiting or are looking for a place to call your spiritual home.

Our diocesan staff can answer your questions on a range of subjects.
