Missionary Society of Saint John Joins Diocese and APA

with the Diocese of Saint Augustine and the Anglican Province of America. The Right Rev'd Frederick Fick was elected to
serve as Suffragan Bishop of a new diocese, which will consist of twenty-two parishes in Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana,
kentucky, Illinois, Idaho and Texas and will be renamed the Diocese of Mid America.
Priests, deacons and postulants were also received, including two priests from the Roman Catholic Church.

DSA is now Diocese of Mid America
The Diocese of Saint Augustine, formerly a non-geographical diocese of the Anglican
Province of America, is now, thanks to the recent synod and merger of the Missionary Society of Saint John and the Diocese
of Saint Augustine, a geographical Diocese of Mid America. God has blessed us, and this new name will only
expand our witness and ministry in the Name of Jesus Christ.
