Episcopal Diocese of Northwest Texas

This wiki documents the diocese-northwest-texas, an Episcopal diocese spanning roughly 77,000 square miles of the Staked Plains and Rolling Plains. It describes itself as a community sharing God's liberating and life-giving love through the Jesus movement. The diocese has 24 parishes (see page-3186983), history dating to its 1911 founding as a missionary district (page-3183388), and is led by Bishop J. Scott Mayer (page-3183389), the fifth bishop, who has announced his retirement effective June 1, 2027.

The catalog combines institutional pages with a steady stream of news from 2026. Institutional material covers governance and the 68th Annual Convention (Oct 23-24, 2026, Lubbock, hosted by St. Paul's on the Plains; see page-3191893 and news-3216423), the bishop transition (page-3191807), the visitation schedule (page-3191434), Safe Church and Title IV, the Parochial Report, pension and insurance information, and communications, liturgical and formation resources. News coverage, largely by Leann Wigner, reports on bishop's visitations, summer ordinations, deacons' retreats, and parish life.

Ministries for youth and young adults are prominent: camp-quarterman and the summer camp reports, and canterbury-ttu at Texas Tech, which is also covered in the campus ministries overview (page-3186991). Parish entities such as emmanuel-san-angelo and holy-trinity-midland show local ministry, including flood relief partnership and episcopal visits. Affiliated groups include Episcopal Church Women, Daughters of the King, and Episcopal schools.
