Episcopal Diocese of Eastern Oregon
The Episcopal Diocese of Eastern Oregon is the diocese of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America which has jurisdiction over Oregon east of the Cascade Mountains. It also it includes Klickitat County, Washington. It is in Province 8. The diocesan office is in Cove, Oregon.
The Diocese of Eastern Oregon was created as a missionary district in the Episcopal Diocese of Oregon in 1907 and became a separate diocese in 1970.
Following the resignation in 2007 of the 6th Bishop of Eastern Oregon, William O. Gregg, to become assistant bishop in the Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina, the diocesan leadership concluded that it was not financially possible to appoint another diocesan bishop for the time being. Instead, it was proposed that a Provisional Bishop be appointed on a part-time basis for a period of three years in the first instance.〔Moore, Willis H.A., "Beauty and Hope at a Unique Liturgical Pot-Pourri" in ''Anglican and Episcopal History'', Sep 2009.〕
In March 2009, the Standing Committee of the Diocese appointed Nedi Rivera, Bishop Suffragan of the Episcopal Diocese of Olympia since 2004, as Assisting Bishop.〔(Episcopal Life Online item, March 3, 2009 )〕 Rivera was subsequently elected and installed as Provisional Bishop〔The Constitution and Canons of the General Convention of the Episcopal Church (as amended, most recently in 2009) provide that a Diocese without a Bishop may be placed "under the provisional charge and authority of a Bishop ... (shall ) ... be authorised to exercise all the duties and offices of the Bishop of the Diocese until a Bishop is elected ..." See the (Constitution and Canons of the Episcopal Church ) Title III, Ministry; Canon 13, Of Dioceses without Bishops.〕 at the Diocesan Convention on May 23, 2009, for a three year term to Spring 2012, serving on a fractional time (one third) basis. She also assists in the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio following her relocation to Cincinnati after retiring from her position in the Diocese of Olympia in January 2010.〔(Episcopal Visitations, Diocese of Southern Ohio )〕 In Spring 2012, Rivera's term as Provisional Bishop was extended by one year, ending in March 2013.〔(Episcopal Diocese of Eastern Oregon – The Bishop )〕
