Bishop Daniel S. Tuttle formally started the Episcopal Church in Utah with his arrival in Salt Lake City on July 2, 1867. The Church became known for its social justice ministry with the creation of Utah’s first school system for children of all religions.

Bishop Hayashi also shepherds 22 congregations, many of them the original churches established by Bishop Tuttle.
