Anglican Diocese of Kibondo

The Anglican Diocese of Kibondo is a diocese within the Anglican Church of Tanzania.[1] Previously led by the Right Reverend Sospeter Temeo Ndenza, DD as its first bishop,[2] the diocese has been led by Bishop Daudi Jonathan Ndahana.[1][3]

History

Sospeter Tomeo Ndenza was the first bishop for the Anglican Diocese of Kibondo. During the initial years of the Anglican Diocese of Kibondo, Ndenza and the diocese partnered with the Anglican Mission in America.[2][4] Under his episcopal administration, the Anglican Diocese of Kibondo would also formalize intercommunion between Missio Mosaic (a province of the Evangelical Episcopal Communion) under then-Bishop Page Brooks, and the Apostolic Communion of Churches under Archbishop Thomas Henry Jr—two Convergence Movement denominations.[5]

After Ndenza's tenure, the Anglican Diocese of Kibondo's administration was succeeded by Bishop Daudi Jonathan Ndahana, who has served since 2025.[3]

Inclusive of our offerings, we have intercommunion (sharing clergy, pulpits, and altars) with the American Orthodox Catholic Church - AACW - Western Rite Metropolia; the Anglican Diocese of Kibondo within the Anglican Church of Tanzania (a member of the Anglican Communion, the Global South Fellowship of Anglican Churches, and the Global Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans); Missio Mosaic (which is partnered with the Evangelical Episcopal Communion); and River of Healing Fellowship Ministries to name a few; we also share connections and fellowship with the other members of COAAB. With our intercommunion partners and other connections, we also share in missions work together, that we all may fulfill Christ's prayer of unity without assimilating one another.
