The Episcopal Diocese of Kansas

The Episcopal Diocese of Kansas is home to more than 8,000 people in 44 congregations in cities and towns across eastern Kansas. Our congregations make up our diocese, and our diocese is part of the wider Episcopal Church, which in turn is part of a larger, global community of Christians in the Anglican Communion.

In the Episcopal Church there is room for your questions about God, faith and the church. There’s a place for you here.

An online Easter Vigil for all members of the diocese

Everyone across the diocese and beyond is invited to be part of an online Easter Vigil on Saturday, April 11.

A video of the service will feature Bishop Cathleen Bascom and others reading portions of an abbreviated version of the Easter Vigil, with an emphasis on the Light of Christ. Bishop Bascom suggests that, where feasible, people begin watching the video broadcast at 7:30 p.m., with a light of their own nearby (a candle and matches, a lamp or even a cell phone flash light).

A printed copy of the worship booklet has been mailed to everyone in parishes across the diocese who are on the mailing list for the diocesan news magazine, The Harvest. A PDF of the booklet also can be downloaded >>HERE.

The link to watch the video will be posted here early on Saturday.

 

Online giving for churches of the diocese

A form for credit card donations for every church is available >>HERE. Be sure to designate the correct parish by clicking on the church name in the drop-down menu.

The Way of Love

Bishop Cathleen Bascom is inviting the diocese to explore the "Way of Love," a simple Rule of Life designed to help people strengthen their faith.

It uses the practices of Turn - Learn - Pray - Worship - Bless - Go - Rest to help people deepen their faith and grow closer to God.

A variety of resources are available to help congregations and individuals explore how the Way of Love can influence their own spiritual practices.

A compilation of those resources is available >>HERE.
