 DIOCESE FACTS AND INFORMATION   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
In some Christian churches, the diocese is an administrative territorial unit governed by a bishop, sometimes also referred to as a ''bishopric'' or ''episcopal_see'', though more often the term ''episcopal see'' means the office held by the bishop.
The Catholic Church directly inherited this Roman structure of authority during the 5th and 6th centuries, as each bishop fully assumed the role of the former Roman ''praefectus''.
The earliest use of "diocese" as an administrative unit was in the Greek-speaking East, applied for instance to three districts— Cibyra, Apamea and Synnada— that were added to the province of Cilicia in the time of Cicero, who mentions the fact in his familiar letters (''EB'' 1911).

 The Living Church Foundation
In 1969, the Episcopal Church held a special General Convention in South Bend, Ind. It was a time of racial tension throughout the nation, and in response to that along, with the anticipated need to react to the Lambeth Conference of 1968, the General Convention of 1967 decided to hold a Special General Convention.
In view of the fact that the Episcopal Church is sharply divided following the New Hampshire consecration, and that its future and that of the entire Anglican Communion are problematic at best, we propose that a Special General Convention be called for 2005.
Most dioceses that have held conventions this fall have elected deputies to the 2006 General Convention, and others with winter conventions have elections scheduled.
