The Right Reverend Ryan S. ReedThe Right Reverend Ryan S. Reed has served as the Diocesan Bishop since January of 2020. He succeeds the Right Reverend Jack Leo Iker, who served as the third Diocesan Bishop of Fort Worth from 1995 to 2020. His predecessors are the Rt. Rev. A. Donald Davies and the Rt. Rev. Clarence C. Pope, Jr.
From its inception, the Diocese of Fort Worth has committed itself to the proclamation and practice of traditional, Biblically-centered faith. There is a diversity of worship in the Diocese that ranges from traditional Anglo-Catholic spirituality to Evangelical expression. The churches of the Diocese continue to grow steadily as a direct result of our commitment to a traditional expression of Anglicanism and the fact that many of the North Texas communities we serve are young and growing. |
