Reunification
In February 2012 representatives of the Diocese of Quincy and the Diocese of Chicago met in Peoria to discuss reunification of the two dioceses. The meetings in Peoria ended with a decision to continue talks.
On April 28, 2012 leaders from both dioceses met to further discuss reunification. Participants from both dioceses agreed to meet again in August, as well as to allocate time to discuss the issue at the annual diocesan wide conventions held by both dioceses. The participants also agreed to form a joint working group to discuss some of the legal issues involved with the process.
In November the Chicago Diocese's convention agreed that reunification with the Quincy Diocese should be pursued. On June 8, 2013 both diocesan conventions voted unanimously to reunify. The reunification is now subject to approval by a majority of Bishops and the standing committees of the Episcopal Church. If approved the reunified diocese would be known as the Episcopal Diocese of Chicago.
