Welcome to the Diocese of the Ascension
...for the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches (CEEC).
The Diocese of the Ascension is the resident home to vocational chaplains serving in the Armed Forces of the United States, in the Veteran's Administration (VA), in hospitals and with medical agencies, for Police and Federal Law Enforcement Agencies, Fire Departments, and higher education institutions. Many of our chaplains are resident ministers with other Anglican groups, but, as a cooperative effort, are released to the oversight of the CEEC for purposes of endorsement as they follow God's call to serve in the chaplaincy. I welcome you to take a look around this website... and be encouraged by the men and women who serve in this most difficult of ministries around the world.
In the Saving Name of our Lord Jesus Christ ,
The Right Reverend
Derek LS Jones
