Diocese of Nyasaland


The Diocese of Nyasaland was an Anglican diocese in Central Africa centered on Lake Malawi. Growing out of the missionary activity of David Livingstone and the Universities' [Mission to Central Africa], it officially became a diocese with the appointment of a bishop of Nyasaland in 1892. Its territory narrowed to the boundaries of present-day Malawi over time with the development of Anglicanism in Africa, and it remained a diocese until being divided between the Diocese of [Lake Malawi] and the Diocese of [Southern Malawi] in 1971. Headquartered at St Peter's Cathedral on Likoma Island, the bishop of Nyasaland was at times known as the Bishop of Likoma.
