EspañolEPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF TEXAS
'The Episcopal Diocese of Texas' is one of the largest dioceses of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America. The diocese consists of all ECUSA congregations in the southeastern quartile of Texas, including the cities of Austin, Beaumont, Galveston, Houston (the see city) and Waco.
Among the institutions of the diocese are St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital in Houston and the Episcopal Theological Seminary of the Southwest in Austin.
The diocese traces its foundation to Christ Church in Matagorda in 1838. Together with Christ Church, Houston (1839) and Trinity Church, Galveston (1841) it formed the Episcopal Church of Texas, the Episcopal presence in the Republic of Texas. It formally became a diocese of ECUSA in 1849.
The current bishop is the Right Reverend Don Wimberly, who had previously served as bishop of the Diocese of Lexington in Kentucky. The Right Reverend Rayford High and the Right Reverend Dena Harrison serve as bishops suffragan. Harrison is the thirteenth woman consecrated to the episcopate in the Episcopal Church and the first in a diocese in the South.
Christ Church, Houston became the cathedral of the diocese in 1949.
