The Province of Sudan

Where is it?

Sudan is the largest country in Africa - it is about the same size as Europe. The Episcopal Church of Sudan has relatively recently been divided into 24 dioceses, many of which are geographically small and clustered in the south. The northern two thirds of the country used to be the single diocese of Khartoum before it was divided.

This northern part - is largely an Arabic, Muslim area and, particularly around Khartoum and the other cities, the Christians are Southern Sudanese who have been displaced by many years of war.

The Episcopal Church of Sudan is linked with several dioceses around the world, among them being:

• The Diocese of Salisbury in UK(click any link to enter the site and select "Sudan" at the bottom of the screen)
• The Diocese of Southwestern Virginia in USA
• The Diocese of Bradford (linked with what used to be the Diocese of Khartom, which was subdivided into the four Dioceses of Khartoum, Kadugli, Port Sudan and El Obeid)

A few Dioceses have their own websites:

• Khartoum Diocese
• Port Sudan Diocese
• Kajo-Keji Diocese
• Rokon Diocese 
• Kadugli Diocese
