Network Episcopal Diocese of California

"Since 1849, we have been a diocese filled with passionate, talented, committed people — seekers, innovators, and people who serve. In our past 160 years, Diocese of California Episcopalians have founded a hospital, hosted the first Head Start program in the country, provided more supportive housing for the homeless in San Francisco than any others, birthed Interfaith Power and Light, pioneered the return of the Peace in the Eucharistic service, re-introduced the Great Vigil of Easter into central liturgies of the Episcopal worship, and more recently brought forth the modern Labyrinth Movement, and the practices of the Open Table and Ashes to Go."
