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 mainly 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)
• There are many other Dioceses, Aid Agencies and groups who have a concern for Sudan. We hope that this site will become a gateway to all of these organisations

All Dioceses now have at least the potential for running their own websites. The following have some material:

• Bor Diocese
• Kadugli Diocese
• Kajo-Keji Diocese
• Khartoum Diocese
• Port Sudan Diocese
• Rejaf Diocese
• Rokon Diocese (This does not appear to be working)
• Torit Diocese
• Yei Diocese

Other Dioceses will very shortly be added to this list - and all will be individually available at www.[diocese].anglican.org
If that address brings you to this page, I am afraid that it probably means there is not yet any information available.
