The Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh is a diocese of the Anglican Church in North America. It has parishes in the several counties of Western Pennsylvania. In addition, the diocese has oversight of several parishes that are not located within its geographical boundaries, including three in Illinois, two in Tennessee, and one in Colorado. The diocese also has a parish in Mexico.[2]

The diocese is home to numerous Episcopal/Anglican organizations including Church Army USA, Rock the World Youth Mission Alliance, and the Society of Anglican Missionaries and Senders (formerly South American Mission Society). Perhaps the most prominent of these is Trinity Anglican Seminary, a leading evangelical, low church seminary in the Anglican tradition.[3]

The diocese originated from the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh, a diocese of the Episcopal Church. In 2008, the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh split into two bodies when the majority of its parishes left the Episcopal Church to become the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh.
