Note from Presiding Bishop Michael Curry:
NEW NAME, SAME LOVING GOD
JUNE 18, 2022: The Episcopal Church in North Texas, (ECNTX) formerly the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth, today voted overwhelmingly to reunite with the Episcopal Diocese of Texas (EDOT). The vote was the sole business of a Special Meeting of Diocesan Convention at Trinity Episcopal Church, Fort Worth. The vote was unanimous for reuniting with the Diocese of Texas – 69 to 0.
This action follows the June 9, 2022, reconvening of the 173rd Council of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas that also overwhelmingly voted to reunite with The Episcopal Church of North Texas: 526-14. The purpose of the reconvening was expressly to vote on two resolutions: the first being, reuniting with the Episcopal Church in North Texas, and the other, authorizing a Bishop Assistant.
Bishop Scott Mayer said in his sermon at the Opening Worship of the Special Meeting, “This event today is not about closure. It’s an outward visible sign of faith, hope, and love by a liberated people.”
