User:Closeapple/new/Diocese of Quincy (to 2008)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Diocese of Quincy, until 2008, was a single Anglican diocese in western Illinois that was part of the Episcopal Church. The majority of its territory is between the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers. It was formed by geographic division from the Diocese of Illinois in 1877.[1] Since November 2008, Anglican realignment has resulted in two dioceses using the name: the Diocese of Quincy (Southern Cone) and the Episcopal Diocese of Quincy.

The diocese was named after Quincy, Illinois, its original episcopal see;[2] the see was moved to Peoria in 1963, but the Quincy name was kept to lessen confusion with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Peoria.
At the diocese's 131st Synod in 2008, the counties in the diocese were Adams, Brown, Bureau, Fulton, Hancock, Henry, Knox, McDonough, Mercer, Peoria, Pike, Schuyler, Stark, Warren, and Woodford.[3] Woodford was transferred from the Diocese of Chicago after the Diocese of Quincy was created.[1]
