The Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, has elected seven new bishops and four archbishops to fill vacancies in its dioceses and provinces.
The elections were conducted during the church’s Episcopal Synod held on Monday, August 12, 2024, at St Matthew’s Anglican Church Maitama, Abuja. The Primate of the church, Dr. Henry Ndukuba, announced the elections and congratulated the newly elected bishops and archbishops.
“I pray that God will grant them wisdom, strength, and good health to pilot the affairs of the people of God in their respective dioceses and provinces,” Dr. Ndukuba said. “I also call on all members of the church to pray and support the newly elected bishops and their families as they go into their new places of assignments after the due processes, training, and consecration.”
The consecration of the bishops-elect and the presentation of archbishops-elect will be held on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, during the Standing Committee Meeting of the church being hosted by Nike Diocese in Enugu State.
