The Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic (DOMA) is an Anglican Church in North America diocese, encompassing Virginia, Maryland, Washington, D.C., and northeastern North Carolina, with 38 congregations, including several church plantings. The diocese was originally organized in 2006 as the Anglican District of Virginia when a group of conservative Virginian congregations withdrew from the Episcopal Church in opposition to the election of an openly gay bishop. It achieved diocesan status on June 21, 2011.
In 2025, DOMA became the focus of a Washington Post report revealing that the FBI was investigating a youth minister employed at one of its largest parishes after an independent inquiry concluded that the youth minister groomed and sexually abused children.
