The Anglican Diocese of Cape Town, South Africa, came into being in 1847 with the consecration of the first bishop, Robert Gray, and later expanded to become the Church of the Province of Southern Africa, now called the Anglican Church of Southern Africa.
Since it is the mother diocese of the Anglican Church in southern Africa, the bishops of Cape Town are archbishops and metropolitans, and preside at synods of the Anglican Church of Southern Africa. The archbishop's seat is St. George's Cathedral in Cape Town.[1]
Desmond Tutu was archbishop 1986–1996 and is currently archbishop-emeritus.
