Founded in 1820 when Maine achieved statehood, the diocese is known for its welcoming embrace of all people, particularly those from different religious traditions and the LGBTQIA+ community. The diocese emphasizes creative, energizing worship centered on the Eucharist, combining both traditional and contemporary liturgical styles rooted in the Book of Common Prayer. Beyond worship, the diocese actively engages in social justice advocacy and outreach through ministries including three Jubilee Centers serving low-income residents and refugees. Visitors will find a faith community that honors Anglican tradition while walking a progressive "middle way" between Protestant and Catholic practices, inviting spiritual seekers of all backgrounds to participate fully in church life.
