The Episcopal Diocese of Kansas

The Episcopal Diocese of Kansas is home to more than 10,000 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.

You are welcome to worship at any of the congregations of the Episcopal Diocese of Kansas. Inside the doors of our churches -- some large, some small -- you will find services that offer beauty, warmth and a sense of community.

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.
