Benutzer:Shi Annan/Diözese Guyana
The Anglican Diocese of Guyana is one of eight within the Province of the West Indies.[1] Its cathedral is St. George's Cathedral, Georgetown. The diocese came into being on 24 August 1842, when William Austin (1842-1892) was consecrated as the first bishop. Bishops who have served the diocese since then have included: Proctor Swaby (1893-1899), Edward Parry (1900-1921), Oswald Parry (1921-1937), Alan Knight (1937-1979), Randolph George (1980-2009) and Cornell Moss (2009-2015). The current bishop is Charles Davidson (2016-present).[2]
In 1842 (shortly after division), her jurisdiction was described as "Demerara, Essequibo, Berbice".[3] In 1866, there were two archdeaconries: Hugh Hyndman Jones was Archdeacon of Demerara and that of Berbice was vacant.[4]
The diocese also covers Suriname and Cayenne/French Guiana.[5]
In a 2002 census, about 7% of Guyanese described themselves as Anglican.
