Bishop Provisional
The Rt. Rev. Stephen T. Lane
Bishop Steve, a native of LeRoy, NY, is a seasoned church leader known for his commitment to justice, peace, and reconciliation. Originally intending to pursue medicine at the University of Rochester, his formative experiences during the Vietnam War and early work in youth ministry redirected his path to ordained ministry. A graduate of Colgate Rochester/Bexley Hall/Crozer Seminary, Bishop Lane has served the Episcopal Church in numerous roles—from parish priest in Corning and Palmyra, to Canon for Deployment in Rochester, to Bishop of Maine (2008–2019). He later served as Bishop Provisional of the Diocese of Rochester (2022–2024).
Nationally, he has contributed as a President of Provinces I, a General Convention deputy, a member of Executive Council, and an advocate with Bishops United Against Gun Violence. Passionate about supporting others in ministry, Bishop Lane is dedicated to building relationships and fostering consensus across differences.
He lives in Rochester with his wife, the Rev. Maria Lane. He has five children and seven grandchildren.

The Episcopal Diocese of Western New York- Bishop Search and Transition Committees
The Standing Committee has completed the process of forming the Bishop Search and Transition Committees. Abiding by the spirit of our diocesan canons, we sought to create committees that were geographically comprehensive and balanced, with one clergy and one lay representative from each deanery. We strove to ensure that there was diverse experience from congregations—both small and large and urban and rural as well as guaranteeing that there was broad inclusion of people with diverse background and identities.
