Anglican Diocese of Bo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Anglican Diocese of Bo (Sierra Leone) is a diocese of the Church of the Province of West Africa, a member church of the worldwide Anglican Communion. Its partner diocese is Chichester, England.

The current diocese, along with the Anglican Diocese of Freetown, was formed in 1981 by the partition of the previous Diocese of Sierra Leone, which had been established in 1852. The diocese of Sierra Leone, together with the dioceses of Niger, Accra, Lagos and the Diocese of the Gambia and the River Pongas, had been formed, with some local resistance, into the Province of West Africa in 1951.[1][2]

As of 2023 the Bishop of Bo is the Right Reverend Solomon Scott-Manga, the fourth Bishop of the Diocese.[3]
