Intro

The Province of the Anglican Church of the Congo is the Anglican Communion province spanning the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of the Congo. It emerged from larger regional Anglican structures in central Africa and took its present name after Zaire became the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Structure

The province is headed by the Archbishop of the Congo, who serves as both metropolitan and primate. Wikipedia's diocesan summary describes 14 dioceses plus one missionary area, with most of the dioceses based in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Kinshasa also extending into the Republic of the Congo.

The dioceses named in the province's current overview are listed below in cleaned form.
