THE ANGLICAN COMMUNION began in England and spread through English colonisation and missionary work. Although it has historically been largest in former English colonies, it has a strong presence throughout the world, especially in Africa. This page lists those parts of the Anglican Communion that are in Africa and in the Province of the Indian Ocean. As always, we list everything that we know about that has a web page. See our "notes on structure" page.
If you know of a web site that should be listed here and is not, please tell us. If you represent a church or diocese that should would like to have a web page, please see The Society of Archbishop Justus web hosting. SOAJ are the organization that sponsors Anglicans Online, and if your web page would be listed here, they might be able to sponsor you. too.

Provinces that are specific to one country are listed alphabetically in the
next section. These provinces span multiple countries. See also 'Africa Resources' at the end of this page.

The Province of the Indian Ocean
Dioceses and Parishes
The following list is ordered alphabetically by country. We list every country, but we do not list individual dioceses unless they have web pages. In places where Christians are not a large fraction of the population, a diocese can span more than one country. In places where Anglicans are not a large fraction of the population, a province can span more than one country. In the remaining cases there is a province or autonomous church associated with the country. If the country has a province or autonomous church, we link the name of the country to it.
The authoritative source of this information is the Anglican Communion Office in London. We check their information regularly and make sure that ours corresponds to it. Should you note any discrepancies, please tell us. Our information differs from theirs in that we list in order by country, and we include links to web pages; they list in order by province.
