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.

Bishop Bascom offers additional guidelines as clergy consider in-person worship

On May 29 Bishop Bascom wrote to the diocese reiterating her full support for the decisions being made by clergy of the diocese on if and when to resume in-person worship. She also noted some of her existing guidelines - 6 foot distancing for worshipers, masks for everyone and no singing - and added other instructions to help churches make decisions to keep members safe.

The bishop's letter is available as a PDF >>HERE. She also offered information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for people who may be at high risk for Covid-19 as a PDF >>HERE.

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.
