Bishop Tuttle
The evangelical Protestant churches were among the first Gentiles to start organizing in Utah, and the Protestant Episcopal Church was the first with a definite organized effort.
On 5 October 1866, at a House of Bishops meeting in New York City, Daniel Sylvester Tuttle was elected missionary bishop of the Territories of Montana, Idaho and Utah. At the time he was a twenty-nine-year-old pastor of Zion Church in Morris, New York. On 1 May 1867 he was consecrated the first Episcopal Missionary Bishop of Montana, with jurisdiction over Utah and Idaho.
