Dioceses of the Church of Uganda From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Anglican dioceses of Ankole and Kigezi are the Anglican presence in (roughly) the ancient Ankole kingdom and the old Kigezi District; they are part of the Church of Uganda. The remaining dioceses of the church are in the areas of Buganda, of Eastern Uganda, of Northern Uganda, and of Rwenzori.
The Diocese of Ankole-Kigezi was one of five split from the Diocese of Uganda on 1 July 1960; when the Kigezi diocese was created in 1967, this diocese became Ankole (and Shalita remained in post). When this diocese was again split 10 years later, the remaining part (where Betungura continued as bishop) became known as East Ankole diocese, until 2003, when it resumed the name Diocese of Ankole (upon the erection of North Ankole diocese; Kyamugambi remained in his renamed See).[1] The current mother church is St James's Cathedral, Ruharo (near Mbarara).
