About

Bishops & Staff

The bishops and staff of the Episcopal Diocese of New York work together to serve and support our congregations, ministries, and communities across the region. From pastoral care to parish support and congregational development, to administration and outreach, each person plays a vital role in helping our Diocese live out its mission of renewal of the church for the healing of the world.
