Religion
Milwaukee is home to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Milwaukee, the Episcopal
Diocese of Milwaukee, the Greater Milwaukee Synod of the ELCA and the
headquarters of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. The School Sisters of
the Third Order of St Francis have their mother house in Milwaukee and several
other religious orders have a significant presence in the area, including the
Jesuits and Franciscans.
The Association of Religion Data Archives reported on the religious composition
of the Milwaukee-Racine area as of 2000.[23] Approximately 55% of residents were
adherents to one of the 188 groups included in the data. Of them, 58% were
Catholic, 23% Lutheran, 3% Methodist, and 2.5% Jewish. Others included adherents
to other Protestant denominations, Orthodox churches, and Eastern religions.
Historically African-American denominations were not included in the data.
