List of bishops of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America
This list consists of the Bishops in the Episcopal Church (TEC). This shows the historic succession of the Historic Episcopate within this denomination.
Key to Chart
The number references the sequence of consecration. Greek letters reference bishops consecrated for missionary use outside of the United States:
- α = Haiti
- β = Mexico
- γ = Brazil
- δ = Purerto Rico
"Diocese" refers to the diocese for which the individual was ordained. Note, this does not mean it was the only Diocese that bishop presided over. For example, the Diocese of Delaware was under the supervision of the Diocese of Pennsylvania under Bishop White.
"PB" refers to if the bishop became a Presiding Bishop in the church (The number is the sequence).
Under Consecrators, one finds numbers (or letters) referencing previous bishops on the list. If a series of letters is under "Consecrators", then the consecrators were bishops/archbishops from a non-American source:
- A = Bishop of Aberdeen
A1 = The Rt. Rev. Robert Kilgour
A2 = The Rt. Rev. John Skinner, Bishop Coadjutor - B = Bishop of Ross
B1 = The Rt. Rev. Arthur Petrie - C = Archbishop of Canterbury
C1 = The Most Rev. John Moore
C2 = The Most Rev. George Carey - D = Archbishop of York
D1 = The Most Rev. William Markham - E = Bishop of Bath
E1 = The Rt. Rev. Charles Moss - F = Bishop of London
- G = Bishop of Rochester
- H = Archbishop Primus of Brazil
