Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Portland, Oregon is the seat of the Episcopal Diocese of Oregon of The Episcopal Church. The cathedral is located at 147 N.W. 19th Avenue in Portland, Oregon, in the Northwest District.
The legal name of the cathedral corporation is Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, Portland, Oregon. It was originally organized on March 18, 1873 as Trinity Episcopal Church, Portland, Oregon and was renamed as a cathedral on February 17, 1994, after the Episcopal Bishop of Oregon relocated the diocesan seat to the current location in the previous year. The Rt. Rev. Robert Louis Ladehoff, the Eighth Bishop of Oregon, consecrated the cathedral on November 19, 1993. Prior to 1993, the seat of the Diocese of Oregon was the then Cathedral of St. John the Baptist since 1973, which, in turn was relocated from the then St. Stephen's Cathedral.
The cathedral serves as the central parish of the Episcopal diocese whose jurisdiction includes the parts of Oregon west of the Cascade Mountains. Approximately 1800 active parishioners attend the cathedral's Eucharist services and participate in various activities. In addition, Trinity Episcopal Cathedral has operated since 2002 the Center for Spiritual Development under the direction of the Rev. Canon Marianne Wells Borg; the center was merged with the cathedral's adult education program on August 1, 2008.
The Dean of the Cathedral is the Very Rev. Nathan LeRud, who is assisted by the Rev. Jim Bethell (Spiritual Formation and Catechesis), and the Rev. Canon Raggs Ragan (Canon Pastor), as well as a number of non-stipendiary clergy, such as the Very Rev. Roy Coulter (former Dean of the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, Portland), the Very Rev. Hollingshead "Lin" Knight (former Dean of the Cathedral Church of St. Andrew, Honolulu, Hawaii), the Very Rev. John Bright, the Rev. Canon Jack Hilyard, the Rev. Canon Joseph Dubay, the Rev. Canon Patrick Tompter, the Rev. John Scannel, the Rt. Rev. Robert Ladehoff, the Rev. Maureen Tighe, and the Rev. Deacon Valerie Ivey. The New Testament scholar and author Marcus Borg served as Canon Theologian.
