Episcopal Diocese of Upper South Carolina


The Episcopal Diocese of Upper South Carolina is a diocese in The Episcopal Church.
Originally part of the Diocese of South Carolina, it became independent on October 10–11, 1922 following nearly two years of planning. The see city is Columbia. Its cathedral is Trinity Cathedral. The diocese comprises 62 congregations in the Upstate and Midlands regions of the U.S. state of South Carolina. There are five convocations in the diocese: Midlands, Catawba, Foothills, Gravatt, and Piedmont.
Andrew Waldo is the 8th Bishop of Upper South Carolina. His episcopal ordination took place on May 22, 2010, at Christ Church Episcopal, the "Parish in the heart of the city," in Greenville, SC.
Among the Diocese's many institutions, the Bishop Gravatt Center began service in 1949 as a retreat and summer camp site. Now a non-profit corporation with its own Board of Trustees, the Center remains a vital part of the Diocese through its summer camp Christian formation program and numerous diocesan and parish activities such as Happening, Cursillo, youth retreats, vestry retreats, parish family weekends, etc.
