- Episcopal_Diocese_of_Massachusetts abstract "The Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts is one of the nine original dioceses of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America.Massachusetts was founded by Puritans who did not accept such aspects of the Church of England as bishops and the Book of Common Prayer. The first Anglican parish in the Massachusetts Bay Colony was King's Chapel in Boston, founded in 1688, 58 years after the city. After the American Revolution, King's Chapel became the first Unitarian congregation in North America. The oldest remaining parishes in the diocese are Christ Church in Quincy, founded in 1704, St. Paul's in Newburyport, founded as Queen Anne's Chapel in 1711, St. Michael's Church in Marblehead, founded in 1714, Christ Church in Boston (Old North Church), founded in 1723, and St. Andrew's Church in South Scituate (now Hanover), founded in 1727.The diocese was organized in 1784, five years before the Episcopal Church itself. The first bishop (for New England and New York) was Samuel Seabury who was consecrated by the bishops of the Scottish Episcopal Church in 1784.Today, it is one of the largest dioceses in the ECUSA in terms of membership. It encompasses the eastern part of Massachusetts, specifically, the nine counties east and southeast of Worcester County.The diocese was the first in the Anglican Communion to consecrate a woman bishop. Barbara Harris became bishop suffragan of the diocese in 1989. It became the first diocese in the Episcopal Church to install an African-American diocesan bishop when the Right Reverend John Melville Burgess was consecrated as the 12th bishop in 1970.The current diocesan bishop is the Right Reverend M. Thomas Shaw, SSJE. He was consecrated bishop coadjutor in 1994 and succeeded David Johnson upon the latter's death in January 1995. The current bishop suffragan is the Right Reverend Gayle E. Harris, consecrated in January 2003.Historically, the diocese has been considered Low Church; however, there are a number of Anglo-Catholic parishes, the most notable of which is the Church of the Advent in Boston. Its best-known Low Church parish is Trinity Church in Boston's Copley Square. The see city is Boston. The Episcopal Divinity School is located in the diocese. Many of the diocese's clergy are alumni of EDS.
