The Episcopal Diocese of Puerto Rico (Spanish: Diócesis Episcopal de Puerto Rico) is a diocese of the Episcopal Church in Puerto Rico. Under Spanish rule, Puerto Rico was part of a Roman Catholic-affiliated monarchical Spanish government for over 400 years. Towards the end of that period, in the late 1870s, the Spanish government in Puerto Rico, at the behest of the Anglican bishop of Antigua, allowed the construction of the first Protestant temple in Puerto Rico, the Anglican Holy Trinity Church in Ponce, to serve the spiritual needs of British merchant marines serving the port of Ponce. Severe restrictions were imposed on the church, such as not using its front door nor ringing the church bell which the British monarch, Queen Victoria provided each Anglican Church, so as to not attract local residents to the congregation. The second Protestant temple in Puerto Rico was established by the Anglican church in the village of Isabel Segunda on the island of Vieques. More information...
