HISTORY The Episcopal Diocese of Delaware dates its foundation to 1785 , the first time a delegation was sent representing the diocese to the General Convention. The Rev. Charles Wharton , a converted Roman Catholic Priest , presided over the first state convention on September 26 , 1786 , at which it was decided to form a wholly separate diocese from that of the Episcopal Diocese Of Pennsylvania or the Episcopal Diocese Of Maryland , but under the episcopal supervision of the Bishop of Pennsylvania.
