The Anglican Diocese of Quincy is a member of the Anglican Church in North America and is made up of 32 congregations, principally in Illinois but also in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Texas, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Hawai'i, Colorado, Tennessee, and Florida in the United States. The diocese was a founding member of the Anglican Church in North America in 2009.
The Diocese of Quincy was founded in 1877 and was part of the Episcopal Church until a majority of the diocesan synod voted to leave in November 2009 and to associate with Anglican Province of the Southern Cone as part of the Anglican realignment movement.[2][3] After the synod, statements from the Episcopal Church and the Southern Cone express conflicting views of what constitutes the diocese.[3]
After leaving The Episcopal Church, St. Andrew's Church Peoria, Illinois in Peoria, became the cathedral after St. Paul's Episcopal Church Peoria, Illinois, voted on December 4, 2008, by 181 to 35, to not be "realigned" or "removed" from the Episcopal Church.[4]
The offices of the Diocese of Quincy are located in Peoria, however, the Diocese retained the name of the location of its original see city, Quincy, and its original and current cathedral of St. John's,[3] in order to lessen confusion with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Peoria.
Juan Alberto Morales, the founder and first abbot of Saint Benedict's Abbey in Bartonville, Illinois,[5] was elected as the 9th Bishop of the Diocese of Quincy on September 18, 2010. He was installed by Robert Duncan, Archbishop of the Anglican Church in North America.[6]
Keith L. Ackerman was bishop from June 24, 1994 until his resignation on November 1, 2008. He is a member of Forward in Faith, the Society of King Charles the Martyr, the Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament, the Guild of All Souls, the Society of Mary, and the Society of Our Lady of Walsingham.[7]
