List of bishops of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America
This list consists of the bishops in the The Episcopal Church, an independent province of the Anglican Communion. This shows the historical succession of the episcopate within this church.
Key to chart
[edit]The number references the sequence of consecration. Two capital letters before their number identify bishops consecrated for missionary work outside of the United States. "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 William White. "PB" refers to whether the bishop became a Presiding Bishop in TEC and, if so, which number in 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 or archbishops from outside of the ECUSA:

Chart of bishop succession
[edit]- Diocesan bishop (Ordinary)
- Bishop pro tempore
The Roman numeral before the diocese name represents where in the sequence that bishop falls; e.g., the fourth bishop of Pennsylvania is written "IV Pennsylvania". Where a diocese is in bold type it indicates that the bishop is a current bishop of that diocese.
