The Anglican Diocese of Umzimvubu is a relatively new Diocese created out of a portion of the former St John’s See. It came into existence in 1991 and the current Bishop is The Rt Rev Mlibo Mteteleli Ngewu.
The Diocese of Umzimvubu sits on the border of Kwazulu Natal and The Eastern Cape, located in the northern area of the former homeland of the Transkei. Historically the Diocese, along with the Diocese of Mthatha, formed the larger Diocese of St John's. Consequently it shares many of the characteristics of this neighbouring diocese.

Famous quotes containing the word anglican:
“The Anglican Church is marked by the grace and good sense of its forms, by the manly grace of its clergy. The gospel it preaches is, “By taste are ye saved.” ... It is not in ordinary a persecuting church; it is not inquisitorial, not even inquisitive, is perfectly well bred and can shut its eyes on all proper occasions. If you let it alone, it will let you alone. But its instinct is hostile to all change in politics, literature, or social arts.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
