The Standing Committee of the Anglican Church of Kenya has endorsed a plan to reorganize the 4.5 million-member church into four ecclesiastical provinces, each to be headed by an archbishop.

Approval for the plan was given last month at the provincial standing committee meeting in Nairobi. The four archdioceses will be Mombasa, Mt Kenya, Nakura and Maseno.

The Archbishop of Mombasa will exercise metropolitan authority over the dioceses of All Saints Cathedral, Kajaido, Kitui, Machakos, Mombasa, Nairobi and Taita Taveta --- covering the south and east of the country. the rest
