Daniel Rogan Morse (born 1944) is an American Anglican bishop currently serving as bishop ordinary of the Reformed Episcopal Church's Diocese of the Central States.
Biography[edit]
Morse was married for 48 years to Marianne Porcher McCravey (1944–2015). They had four children.[1] Morse was rector of Immanuel Church in Germantown, Tennessee. He also served as a convocation dean, standing committee member and dean of the external studies program at Cummins Theological Seminary.[2]
In 1996, Morse was elected assistant bishop in the newly formed Diocese of Mid-America, which combined the Synod of Chicago and the eastern part of the Special Jurisdiction for North America.[2] He was consecrated by Leonard W. Riches in Memphis, Tennessee, in August 1996.[3]
After 12 years of serving in the Diocese of Mid-America, Morse was elected the first bishop ordinary of the Missionary Diocese of the Central States, taking office in January 2008.[4] In 2013, the DCS was given full status as an REC and Anglican Church in North America diocese.[5]
In 2016, Morse called for the election of a bishop coadjutor to succeed him upon retirement, and suffragan bishop Peter Manto was elected.[6] At the end of 2019, Morse formally retired and was succeeded as bishop ordinary by Manto.[7]
