List of Episcopal Bishops - Key To Chart

Key To Chart

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 the ECUSA and, if so, which number in the sequence.

Under consecrators, one finds numbers (and/or letters) referencing previous bishops on the list. If a series of letters is under "Consecrators," then the consecrators were bishops/archbishops from outside of the ECUSA:

Famous quotes containing the words key to, key and/or chart:

    “Now narrow minds can develop as well through persecution as through benevolence; they can assure themselves of their power by tyrannizing cruelly or beneficently over others; they go the way their nature guides them. Add to this the guidance of interest, and you will have the key to most social riddles.”
    —Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)

    “All meanings, we know, depend on the key of interpretation.”
    —George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    “Perhaps in His wisdom the Almighty is trying to show us that a leader may chart the way, may point out the road to lasting peace, but that many leaders and many peoples must do the building.”
