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 issues new restrictions on indoor activities for the coming weeks

On Nov. 12 Bishop Cathleen Bascom issued a letter calling for suspension of all indoor church activities, including worship, from Sunday, Nov. 15 through Sunday, Dec. 13. Outdoor worship and other activities can continue. Additional guidelines for churches to use also were included, from now until Easter.

She also unveiled a set of Covid-related statistics that will guide whether churches can offer indoor worship and activities from Dec. 13 through Easter.

Weekly, the diocesan office will be posting these statistics for every county where we have a congregation; the spreadsheet, which includes the current and prior weeks, is available >>HERE.

The bishop's letter, as well as a link to the statistics spreadsheet, is on the page where other guidelines and messages from her have been posted >>HERE.

The diocesan staff is working remotely from home wherever tasks permit it. If you need to reach a staff member, you can find email addresses and contact information >>HERE.

Resources for churches are listed >>HERE.
