The Episcopal Diocese of New York is a diocese of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America, encompassing the boroughs of Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island in New York City, and the New York state counties of Westchester, Rockland, Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Sullivan, and Ulster.
Established in 1787 after the success of the American Revolution resulted in the dis-establishment of the Anglican Church, it is one of the nine original dioceses of the Episcopal Church. It is one of ten dioceses, plus the Convocation of Episcopal Churches in Europe, that make up Province 2.
The diocesan offices are located in Manhattan near the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine on Amsterdam Avenue. The Diocesan bishop is the Right Reverend Mark S. Sisk, 15th Bishop of New York, assisted by the Right Reverend Catherine S. Roskam, Bishop Suffragan, the Right Reverend Andrew Smith, Assistant Bishop, and the Very Reverend James A. Kowalski, dean of the Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine.
