DIOCESAN, NATIONAL, AND INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP
St. John’s is part of the Diocese of Newark, NJ. The Rt. Rev. Carlye J. Hughes is our Bishop. Our Presiding Bishop is The Most Reverend Sean Rowe.
The Diocese of Newark is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion represented in the United States (as well as some other parts of the world) by The Episcopal Church. It was established in 1874 as the Diocese of Northern New Jersey by the third Bishop of New Jersey, William Henry Odenheimer, who then became its first Bishop. In 1886 the diocese changed its name to the Diocese of Newark.
Formed out of the colonial congregations separated from the Church of England after the American Revolution, The Episcopal Church is an autonomous province of the worldwide Anglican Communion, the third-largest group of Christians in the world.
While The Episcopal Church is headquartered in New York City, it is not a national church but a multinational denomination, with more than 100 dioceses across 22 countries or territories.
The Worldwide Anglican Communion is an association or federation of Anglican churches that are in full communion with the Church of England, and specifically with the Archbishop of Canterbury.
