During the post war years, the church experienced a period of booming expansion. Returning GI's sought higher education, and college ministries grew. In 1950, the Re. Rev. Henry Louttit succeeded Bishop Wing. In 1951, the largest parish in the diocese was St. Agnes, the first black Episcopal Church in Miami. At this time, white church members still had mixed feelings about integration. It was not until after 1955 that Camp Wingmann was integrated. A loan fund for expansion was started in the 1950s. This enabled the establishment of seventy-one congregations, and a movement towards establishing church schools and pre-schools accelerated at that time. By 1966, there were thirty-eight day schools.

Cuban refugees came to Florida in great numbers during the 1960s. The church in South Florida helped with aid in resettling, language instruction, emergency food, and clothing. Todos los Santos became the first mission established for the Spanish-speaking members of our diocese. In 1969, the Diocese of South Florida split into three new dioceses. The Rt. Rev. James L. Duncan became the first Diocesan Bishop of Southeast Florida. Trinity Church in Miami became the Cathedral. The new diocese consisted of 75 congregations and slightly more than 30,000 communicants. Bishop Duncan immediately undertook a capital funds campaign, which raised over a million dollars, to restore financial well-being.

During the 1970s, the contentious items of the entire church were reflected in Southeast Florida. Major issues of concern in Southeast Florida, as in the whole country, included: the ordination of women; Prayer Book revision; abortion; and the providing of sacraments should the church become schismatic.

On February 9, 1980, the Rt. Rev. Calvin Onderdonk Schofield, Jr., succeeded Bishop Duncan and became the second Bishop of Southeast Florida. Prior to this investiture, Bishop Schofield had served as Bishop Coadjutor for almost one year. Among the first crises faced by Bishop Schofield was the arrival of tens of thousands of Cubans into Southeastern Florida. Quickly on the heels of that crisis was the riot in Liberty City. The community had become enraged at the acquittal of four white police officers who had been charged with beating an African-American insurance man to death after a traffic violation, and days of rioting followed. Institutional racism and improving race relations consumed much of Bishop Schofield's attention. In the early 1980s, many Haitian immigrants arrived in Florida and established a Creole-speaking congregation, St. Paul et Les Martyrs d'Haiti, Miami. The mid-80's saw the addition of two new missions at opposite ends of the diocese: St. Francis, Big Pine Key; and Advent, Palm City.

A devastating natural disaster hit the region in 1992, Hurricane Andrew. The effect of this monstrous storm is still felt by many who define things as "before" or "after" Andrew. "Operation Andrew" was organized to enable the diocese to meet the challenge of assisting the parishes and communities so seriously effected. Subsequently, a Disaster Preparedness Task Force was created.

Full-time episcopal assistance became a priority early in the 90s. The Rt. Rev. John Lewis Said was consecrated in 1995. In addition to assisting Bishop Schofield, Bishop Said maintained involvement in the Cursillo Directorate, and played a key role in new church development and the Committee on Ministry.

On May 6, 2000, the Rt. Rev. Leopold Frade was elected the third Bishop of Southeast Florida and then enthroned on September 16. He calls himself a "missionary bishop", and is challenging the diocese to reach out to all persons in our communities and to double or triple our membership in the next decade.

Our history stops at this point as we move on into the future.
