The Episcopal Church in Minnesota, also known as the Episcopal Diocese of Minnesota, is a diocese of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America which has jurisdiction over all of Minnesota, except Clay County, which is in the Episcopal Diocese of North Dakota.[1] It is in Province VI and its offices are in Minneapolis. It has two cathedrals: the Cathedral of Our Merciful Saviour in Faribault and St. Mark's Episcopal Cathedral in Minneapolis. As of December 2013, there were 20,964 members.[2] It has 110 faith communities (this includes 105 churches and the organizations Episcopal Homes of Minnesota, The Episcopal House of Prayer, The Sheltering Arms Foundation, Breck School, and Shattuck-St. Mary’s School). It additionally has three affiliated organizations: The Minnesota Council of Churches, The Joint Religious Legislative Coalition, and The Resource Center for Churches.[3] Henry Benjamin Whipple was the first bishop of the Episcopal Church in Minnesota. Brian Prior is the current bishop. The Diocese of Duluth was established as a Missionary Diocese from the Diocese of Minnesota in 1895 and was merged back into the Diocese of Minnesota on May 24, 1955.[4]

They document the organization, administration, and history of the diocese and its parishes and missions through the records of the diocesan offices and parishes and the papers of numerous diocesan officials and leaders, including George Clinton Tanner, Stephen E.
