From General Seminary-Bishop Dorsey McConnell was formally seated as the Eighth Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh in November 2012. He earned his Master of Divinity from General Seminary in 1983, cum laude, and went on to minister as Curate of Saint Thomas Church, New York City; Chaplain for the Episcopal Church at Yale; Rector of the Church of the Epiphany in New York; and Rector of Saint Alban’s Church in Edmonds, Washington. In 2004, he returned to the East Coast, accepting a call as Rector of Church of the Redeemer in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, where he served until his election as Bishop of Pittsburgh. Bishop McConnell is the first tenured diocesan bishop to shepherd the Pittsburgh diocese since its previous bishop led a schism over theology and sexual ethics in 2008.
General Seminary conferred its first honorary degree in 1885.
