Note: This article is in process. It directly parallels A Profile of the House of Deputies for 2003. I have also prepared a full list of the deputations for each diocese, including bishops and deputies.

Parts of the report focus on the data for only the 100 domestic dioceses of the Episcopal Church. Other tallies include bishops outside the domestic 100. Readers need to be sensitive to the difference.

Note:  This report is current as of the time of publication, July, 2003.  I will not attempt to update email links and other data on an ongoing basis at this location. If possible, I will update it again in 2006.  You may also want to look at my 2000 Profile of the House of Bishops and at my 1997 profile of the House of Bishops.

For the most current email information and other data on a specific bishop, see her or his record at http://www.andromeda.rutgers.edu/~lcrew/bishops/index.html

A suggestion about how to read this document

Hypertext documents are not meant to be read linearly, from start to finish. Instead, they make it easy for you to move from place to place, indeed sometimes from this document to other documents. Use the Table of Contents as a tool to move around. Also use the FIND feature of your browser. For example, the Table of Contents will point you to primary data about Gender, but materials related to male and female issue appear throughout the document. Using your FIND feature to search for the string MALE and you will locate most of the related materials.

Since this document directly parallels my Profile of the House of Deputies, some readers may prefer to launch a separate browser simultaneously, to all them to load both documents at the same time and switch back and forth for easier comparison.

Bishops by Type

+Frank T. Griswold Episcopal means "overseen by bishops." A bishop is the overseer. Bishops come in several types. The highest rank in ECUSA is the Presiding Bishop, currently Most Reverend Frank T. Griswold. The Presiding Bishop presides over the House of Bishops. His Cathedral is the National Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul in Washington, DC. His residence is in the Episcopal Church Center at 815 Second Avenue in New York City, one block from the United Nations, at the intersection of 2nd Avenue and 43rd Street, on the Eastside of mid-Manhattan. The Presiding Bishop, once elected, no longer serves as a diocesan bishop, nor is the Presiding Bishop an Archbishop: the Presiding Bishop has the authority to represent ECUSA as our 'primate' at meetings of primates of various parts of the Anglican Communion, but our Presiding Bishop lacks the authority all the other primates bring to those gathering.

Presiding Bishop Griswold, the 25th Presiding Bishop, was elected to a 9-year term at General Convention in 1997 and began serving on January 1, 1998.  Recent presiding bishops had 12-year terms, but that was reduced by General Convention in 1994.  His successor will be nominated before the 2006 General Convention and will be elected at that convention, to begin serving in the fall of that year.  See Who Will Be the 26th PB?

See also all Canonical and Constitutional statements related to such elections.

Other categories of bishops include, in descending order of rank:

A coadjutor is elected with guaranteed right to succeed the diocesan, but serves under the diocesan until the coadjutor becomes the diocesan. Terms for coadjutor status are at the discretion of the diocesan. 
Those who wish to remove the vote point out that retired bishops are no longer accountable to any constituency.  Those who want them to keep the vote point out that they are thus free to vote their informed conscience even more than active bishops. 
pie:  Bps by type
Bishops and all others are accountable to the General Convention, a bicameral legislature which meets triennially (and may have special meetings, such as the one at South Bend in 1969). The House of Deputies is one chamber, the House of Bishops the other. Legislation must pass in both Houses to be official policy of the Episcopal Church.

During the interim, the Presiding Bishop and Executive Council provide oversight at the national level. There are 100 domestic dioceses of the Episcopal Church. Each dioceses has much choice in terms of its liturgical and theological preferences, including choice of candidates for ordination, although persons are guaranteed access to the process without regard to gender, race, or sexual orientation.

General Convention governs the church through Constitution and Canons, and it advises the church through resolutions. The House of Bishops twice a year, even in years when General Convention does not meet, but it cannot pass legislation without the concurrence of the older House of Deputies. The 1977 House of Bishops' conscience clause, for example, was passed to allow bishops who disagreed with the 1976 canon permitting the ordination of women not to recognize such ordinations in their own Sees. The conscience clause was not a legal document because it never received the concurrence of the House of Deputies. The 1997 General Convention revised the canons to require that women's ministries be enabled in every diocese. That change was much criticized by the Anglican bishops meeting at the 1998 Lambeth Conference.

The House of Bishops often issues pastorals, sometimes at its own initiative, sometimes at the request of General Convention. These documents have no force of law in ECUSA, but serve as strong advice. For major strength, they need to be passed by both houses of General Convention. For example, see the House of Bishops' Teaching on Human Sexuality, written to be a pastoral but reduced through parliamentary action at the 1994 convention to the lesser status of a "teaching." The House of Bishops cannot legally function as a Roman Catholic magesterium.

New Bishops, Not at General Convention as Bishops in 2000

Thirty-one bishops (19% of all active bishops) have been consecrated or elected since General Convention in 2000.  In 2000 20% had been elected since the previous triennium.  Of the thirty-one new bishops at GC 2003, 25 (81%) are diocesans, coadjutors, or diocesans/coadjutors-elect. Six (19%) are suffragans or suffragan-elect. Even so, this allows for far more continuity and corporate memory in the House of Bishop than in the House of Deputies, where 42.3%  of the House of Deputies will be serving for the first time (up down 1.6% from 2000)

    The Rt. Rev. Barbara Harris was the first woman ordained bishop in the Episcopal Church, consecrated in 1989 as the Bishop Suffragan of Massachusetts--20 years after the first females were seated in the House of Deputies, 70 years after women's suffrage was ratified in the United States Constitution. Now there are eleven female bishops in ECUSA, up three from GC 2000, but three have also retired since 2000:

    The eight active females are 5% of all active ECUSA bishops. The six ordinaries are 6% of the ordinaries in the 100 domestic dioceses. The two suffragans are 10% of the 21 suffragans in ECUSA. There are no females in ECUSA outside the United States (Province 9 plus Haiti, Europe, Virgin Islands, and Taiwan). Click here to see a map of the provinces.  

    If female bishops increase their share of the House at the same rate that female deputies have experienced, by the year 2023 (34 years after the first female bishop) there will be 27 female bishops (an estimated 17% of the active bishops). Females are almost twice as successful in the House of Deputies.  34 years after the first female deputy, women constitute 38.8 percent of the House (as they did in 2000 also). 

    Women constitute a majority (52%) of the lay deputies, and an even larger percentage (55%) of the new lay deputies. Women constitute only 26 percent of the clergy deputies (up 1/8% from 2000, up 6% from 1997).

    Sexual Orientation

    Two bishops have identified themselves as gay:


    Otis Charles
    Assisting Bishop of California & Retired Bishop of Utah.

    V. Gene Robinson
    Bishop Coadjutor-Elect of New Hampshire.
    		         

    Age and longevity of service

    Thirty-seven  percent of all active bishops have been elected or consecrated since Presiding Bishop Griswold was elected six years ago.  Sixty-two percent the active bishops have been consecrated since 1/1/1994.   No active bishop was consecrated before 1979.  William Swing (Bishop of California) was consecrated in that year.

    The average date of birth for all active bishops right now was October 27, 1943, for an average age of 59.7 (1.2 years older than the average age at GC in 2000, and only .2 of a year older than the average age at GC in 1997.

    Of all 322 living bishops eligible to vote at General Convention:

    The oldest bishop active bishop is 88.8 (well past the age for mandatory retirement), Rt. Richard Millard, Retired Bishop Suffragan of Europe and Assisting Bishop of California.  The oldest living ECUSA bishop is William Crittenden, Retired Bishop of Northwestern Pennsylvania, 95.0; the youngest Johncy Itty, Bishop Elect of Oregon, 40.2. The oldest age known for any deputy is 89.7, Charles Crump, L1 from West Tennessee; the youngest  age known for any deputy is 16.9, Amanda Frank, L3 from Alaska, followed by Ms. Elizabeth Hall (18.4, L5 Vt), Mr. Aldin Barnes (18.5; L3 MT), Ms. Kirstin Nielsen (19.0; L5 ID), Mr. Dustin Spence (19.0; L1 NCal), Mr. Bradley Woodall (19.0; L5 W. Mo.), Ms. Elizabeth Dernier (19.4; L5 Indianapolis), Ms. Jessica Wilkerson (19.5; L1 MT), and Ms. Deborah Robayo (20; L5 Va)

    The average active bishop was born was born two years after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and only 2 when WW2 ended. The average bishop now was too young to have been drafted in Korea and old enough, had she or he not been clergy, to have been drafted in Vietnam. The average bishop now became an adult after John F. Kennedy was assassinated. The Space Age was a fact of life, not just scientific speculation, in the secondary school education of the average bishop today.

    The average bishop will have been in college during the mid 1960's after the sit-ins, and just as integration began, following the Civil Rights Act of 1964. 155  (96%) of the active bishops were ordained to the priesthood after women were regularly ordained to the priesthood in ECUSA. 155  (96%) of the currently active bishops were ordained to the priesthood after the 1974 resolution of General Convention declaring "homosexuals are Children of God and entitled to the full love, care and pastoral concern of the church."

    We are seeing a shift a bit like that in the early church where once it was mere speculation whether the uncut might remain uncut. Within one generation the uncut were in the vast majority of those hearing, heeding, and spreading the much better news about more important signs of genuine holiness. In a few decades one wondered how on earth a small piece of the male's private part could have ever received the status it once had, and no one would have asked  to peek.

    My friend theologian Norman Pittenger has often told me, "Louie, so long as there is death, there is hope."

    Place of Birth: Bishops' Mobility

    Of 161 active bishops, only 20 (12.%) now serve in the states where they were born. 51 (32%) serve in the provinces where they were born.

    Click here to see a map of the provinces.

    Only 74 (46%) of the bishops currently active were elected by dioceses in which they were serving; 89 (55%) were elected bishops within the same province where they served.

    Five (5%) of the 100 ordinaries, ordinaries-elect, or bishops-in-charge  in the 100 domestic dioceses were  born outside the United States.  The other 95 are distributed unequally based on their provinces of birth and the provinces in which they now serve. Clearly the 'Westward Movement' is in action among those elected to the Episcopate:

    Marital History

    Most bishops are married: 153 of the 161 active bishops (95%). Check here to see the names of their spouses.

    At least fifteen bishops currently in the House have divorced, and eleven of those have remarried. One annulled his wife and three children and remarried. At least three diocesans were divorced and remarried before being elected to the episcopacy.

    According to White & Dykman, 2nd ed. General Convention in 1946 amended I.18 to provide for application by persons whose marriage had ended in divorce (or who wished to marry someone whose marriage had ended in divorce) "to the Bishop or Ecclesiastical Authority of the Diocese...for a judgement as to his or her marital status in the eyes of the Church, or for permission to be married by a Minister of this Church..." 2:418.

    The Episcopal Church did not allow clergy to remarry until the 1960's.

    To date, The Rt. Rev. Otis Charles, retired Bishop of Utah and The Rev. Canon Gene Robinson, Bishop-Elect of New Hampshire, are  the only ECUSA bishops who have openly affirmed that they are gay.

    I have marriage data for 138 active bishops who are married and have married only once:

    • 59.4 Avg age now 
    • 34.5  Avg. length of marriage
    • 24.9 Avg. age when married

    Last Assignment before Election

    Of the 162 active bishops, 122 (75%) were in parochial assignments on election, with the average parish size of 655 communicants. That is 131 more persons per congregation larger than the 524 average parish size of all deputies to General Convention in 2003.

    It is even larger still than the average parish size throughout ECUSA, 254 (based on 7,344 parishes with 1,868,960 communicants, as reported for 2001 in the 2003 Episcopal Church Annual).

    Twenty-seven domestic ordinaries formerly in parochial assignments now oversee dioceses with 20,000+ communicants; before election, these worked in parishes that averaged 911 communicants.

    Twenty-three domestic ordinaries formerly in parochial assignments now oversee dioceses with under 9,000 communicants; before election, these worked in parishes that averaged 404 communicants.

    It is clear that the size of a candidate's current assignment substantially influences dioceses when they elect bishops. In general, candidates with the bigger parochial assignments go to the bigger dioceses. This was not true in two out of the last three elections for Presiding Bishop, with the election of the Bishop of Mississippi (currently 36th in size out of 100 domestic dioceses) and the Bishop of Hawaii (currently 77th). Most Rev. Frank Griswold was, upon election at Presiding Bishop, the Bishop of Chicago, currently our 13th largest diocese.

    See Proportion of the Flock below. See also a list of the Largest churches in ECUSA, Towards the Final Sprint of the Decade of Evangelism and the earlier Halfway Through the Decade of Evangelism  and The Small Church.

    Bishops' Neighborhoods

    White privilege with a miter

    Four percent of our domestic diocesan bishops are African American -- Bishop Michael Curry, NC; Bishop Wendell Gibbs, MI,  Bishop Herbert Thompson (SOh), and Bishop Oris Walker (LI).  African Americans are 3.4% of all ECUSA clergy, 7.3% of the House of Deputies and 12.3% of all Americans.  In A Report on Episcopal Church in the United States Dr. Kirk Hadaway reports that only 2.5% of all Episcopalians are African American .  

    Seventy-one percent of all active Caucasian ECUSA bishops are diocesans; only 27% of all active African American Bishops are diocesans.  An African American still has more chance of being elected a bishop suffragan than being elected an ordinary.

    All the errors here are mine, and I would appreciate continuing help with them as spotted. Note:  Biographical data was derived from the Electronic Clerical Directory and the Electronic Lay Leadership Directory as well as from the hard copy editions of each. Both are published by ChurchPublishing.org.

    I also made extensive use of the Episcopal Church Annual (a.k.a, The Red Book, especially its 2003 hard copy edition.

    Many diocesan websites provided important information.

    I am grateful to those in the scholarly community who have pointed me to important sources of data and to persons who would sharpen my analysis.

    I am grateful to my many colleagues in the Diocese of Newark who have patiently waited through my compulsive explanations of minute detail when prompted only by "How are you?" or "Nice day, isn't it?" Many have suggested important questions for me to ask of the data.

    I am particularly grateful to the many, many people who have encouraged this work while coming at a whole host of issues from theologically different perspectives. I rejoice in several important friendships that such collaboration has started or moved into even richer dimensions. 

    Most of all I am grateful to my husband, Ernest Clay, who patiently waited out my huge absorption with this project over the last nine years for now three separate General Conventions. As Mother would say, "There are stars in your crown, stars in your crown."
