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. 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.
