St. Mark's Episcopal Cathedral, Minneapolis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saint Mark's Episcopal Cathedral in Minneapolis, Minnesota is one of two cathedrals in the Diocese of Minnesota in the Episcopal Church in the United States. It was built as a parish church overlooking Loring Park in 1910. In 1941, it was designated a cathedral when the bishop's office moved from the Cathedral of Our Merciful Saviour in Faribault.
The Cathedral hosted the 1976 General Convention in Minneapolis which officially accepted the ordination of women as priests and adopted the current Book of Common Prayer used in the United States.
In 2003, St. Mark's hosted the General Convention at which The Rev. Gene Robinson was elected to become the Dicoese of New Hampshire's Bishop, and the Episcopal Church's first openly gay bishop.
