According to our Diocesan Constitution and Canons, the diocese is to be divided into districts to "facilitate the cooperation of Parishes with each other and with the Diocese." Fellowship and worship opportunities often originate within these districts. Certain positions on the Diocesan Board of Trustees and Diocesan Council are elected at the annual Diocesan Convention based on district membership.
Bishop Price, with the advice and approval of the Standing Committee, has proposed a new diocesan districting plan as follows:
| District 1 – North |
District 2 – Metro |
|
| All Saints, Brighton Heights St. Brendan's, Franklin Park Christ Church, North Hills St. Barnabas, Brackenridge Emmanuel, North Side Trinity Cathedral, Pittsburgh St. Paul's, Kittanning |
Calvary, East Liberty St. Andrew's, Highland Park St. Matthew's, Homestead Redeemer, Squirrel Hill St. Stephen's, Wilkinsburg St. Thomas, Oakmont Holy Cross, Homewood |
|
| District 3 – South |
District 4 – East |
|
| St. Peter's, Brentwood St. Thomas', Canonsburg Nativity, Crafton St. Paul's, Mt Lebanon All Saints, Bridgeville St. Stephen's, McKeesport All Souls, North Versailles |
St. Bartholomew's, Scottdale St. Peter's, Blairsville Christ Church, Greensburg Christ Church, Indiana Advent, Jeannette St. Michael's, Ligonier St. Francis, Somerset St. Mark's, Johnstown |
Diocesan Canon XVIII states, "…The Bishop, with the advice of the Standing Committee, shall formulate the districting plan which, after at least one open hearing, shall be submitted to Diocesan Council for its concurrence prior to presentation of the plan to the Convention for approval."
A public hearing, an opportunity to have questions about the redistricting answered, will be held at Calvary Episcopal Church, East Liberty, on Monday, August 2, 2010 at 6:00 p.m.
