Albion W. Knight Jr.

Albion Williamson Knight Jr. (1 June 1924 – 22 May 2012) was the second Archbishop of the United Episcopal Church of North America (UECNA) from 1989 until his resignation in 1992.

He joined the UECNA in late 1983 and became the bishop of its Eastern diocese in 1984 before being elected its Archbishop in 1985.

He was consecrated in Bethesda, Maryland on June 2, 1984 by Charles D. D. Doren, the first bishop in the Continuing Anglican movement and first Archbishop of the UECNA.

During his tenure, Knight sponsored the creation of a denominational seminary, reorganized the church into missionary districts, and embarked on a revision of the UECNA Constitution and Canons, which was initially voted on in 1991.

He resigned in 1992 to pursue his political aspiration, and was succeeded as Presiding Bishop by John Cyrus Gramley (1931–1996).
