Biographical history
On June 10, 1872, the General Committee of the Church Missionary Society of the Church of England agreed to plans for the division of the Diocese of Rupert's Land and to provide funds for the stipends of the Bishops of the new Dioceses. In 1873, Rev. William Carpenter Bompas was appointed Bishop of the Diocese of Athabasca. In 1884 the Diocese was further divided with the northern portion called the Diocese of Mackenzie while the southern portion remained the Diocese of Athabasca. In 1890, the community of Athabasca Landing was added to the Diocese. Previous to 1890, Athabasca Landing had been part of the Diocese of Calgary. In 1894, the Bishop's residence was moved to Athabasca Landing from Fort Simpson. In 1915 the Bishop's Residence was moved to Peace River. In 1974, the Diocese of Athabasca held its 100th anniversary and Centennial Services were held in many parishes, and in the fall the Primate spoke at Diocesan Meetings in Athabasca and Grande Prairie.
