From time to time, we will advise friends of the Diocese of Cyprus and the Gulf of events pertinent to life in the diocese, and informative in our relationship of supporting the ministry of the congregations within the diocese.

Everything you wanted to know about the Anglican Church in Cyprus and the Arabian Gulf countries can be found in this very readable and thoughtful history of the diocese, published in 2020.

This impressive volume - over 450 pages with illustrations throughout - charts the evolution of the Anglican Diocese of Cyprus and Gulf since its institution on 5th January 1976. Meticulously researched and beautifully presented, this is essential reading not only for those with an interest in the history of the Anglican church but also for anyone following faith and society across the Middle East region. 

It is a complex story, narrated here with care and insight, bringing together the many strands of the Church’s work across a diverse region. Throughout, the Church has ever been careful to maintain sensitive respect in the host countries where Islam is the national religion, extending the same respect to Cyprus where the Greek Orthodox Church prevailed throughout the island until its partition in 1974, and since then south of the Green Line.

Transformative political events and the ever-present logistical challenges of a church with reach across such broad and diverse communities make this an exciting story, rich with adventure and drama.
