At that time, the state was divided into the Diocese of Kentucky which includes the western part of the state, and the Diocese of Lexington which includes the eastern part of the state. The Diocese is a part of the Fourth Province which constitutes the southeastern part of the United States. The First Bishop of Kentucky was The Rt. Rev. Benjamin B. Smith, 1832-1884. The first Assistant Bishop was The Rt. Rev. George D. Cum- mins from 1866-1874. The Rt. Rev. Thomas U. Dudley was Coadjutor from 1875-1884 when he became Diocesan. His Episcopate continued until 1904. The Rt. Rev. Charles E. Woodcock was Diocesan from 1905 to 1935. The Rt. Rev. Charles Clingman was Diocesan from 1936 to 1954. The Rt. Rev. Charles Gresham Marmion was Diocesan from 1954 to 1974. The Rt. Rev. David B. Reed was elected Coadjutor in 1972; he became Diocesan in 1974. In November 1993, The Rev. Edwin F. Gulick, Jr. was elected the Seventh Bishop of Kentucky. He became Diocesan on April 17, 1994, and retired September 25, 2010. On June 5, 2010, The Very Rev. Terry Allen White was elected the Eight Bishop of Kentucky and was consecrated on September 25, 2010. During the Episcopate of Bishop Dudley the Episcopal Church in the state was divided into the Diocese of Kentucky and the Diocese of Lexington. The Rt. Rev. Lewis W. Burton was Bishop of the Diocese of Lexington from 1896 to 1928. The Rt. Rev. Stacy F. Sauls was elected Bishop of Lexington in 2000. Christ Church, 421 South Second Street, was designated as the Ca- thedral of the Diocese in 1894 by Bishop Dudley. There is a Cathedral Chapter instead of a Vestry at the Cathedral. The Bishop is Rector and President of the Chapter. The Dean serves in the absence of the Bishop and is in charge of the Cathedral congregation. (The Rev. Dr.) Lester S.

  • February 2019 News from Sei
    FEBRUARY 2019 NEWS FROM SEI January Residential Weekend. First year ordinand Lesley Penny writes: ‘A weekend that starts with macaroni cheese is bound to be good, and so it was. Although we have only been together on four occasions, the sense of being ‘all in it together’, the mutual support and encouragement on our RWEs, is great. This was particularly obvious on this weekend when we were all shocked to hear that one of our ‘family’ was undergoing emergency surgery; there was a pulling together and the sharing of an overnight prayer vigil. We continue to pray. In terms of teaching we covered a wide range of areas including hearing from Dr Barbara Jenkinson who taught and shared some remarkable testimonies about the ministry of Light and Life, an organisation that addresses the spiritual hunger seen in so many by going to events including psychic fairs and praying for healing and power encounters with Jesus. Light and Life now has around 100 teams across the UK and abroad with 3000 members. This was both challenging and inspiring. On Saturday afternoon Ishbel Smith helped us think about approaches to preaching, how we use our bodies, voices (and microphones) - and it’s good to know that ‘breathe and pause’ is the solution to most preaching crises! The third years had a helpful presentation on the role of funeral directors, and we all looked at issues around ‘Receptivity’ and how ready we are to receive from those outwith the church. As usual Anne, Mike and Richard kept everyone together and met with many of us.
