Fond du Lac, Eau Claire diocese merger sent to Episcopal Church


From Wisconsin-

A new Episcopal Church diocese encompassing the upper three-fourths of the state could be the result of a planned merger between the dioceses of Fond du Lac and Eau Claire.

The two dioceses approved the merger Saturday, but it still needs to be affirmed by the national Episcopal Church authorities. If approved as expected in summer 2012, work will be done through the fall to bring about the new diocese Jan. 1, 2013.

Discussions for the merger have been ongoing for at least the last four years.

Bishops of both dioceses approved the decision.
