The Saint Meshack's Fellowship Church

In 1957, the Holy Trinity Church in Africa was formed due to doctrinal disagreements with the Anglican Communion. In 1979, Joshua A. Gawo, head of the Holy Trinity Church, applied for admission to the Orthodox Anglican Communion. On February 21, 1982, Gawo was consecrated to the Episcopate and the St Meshack's Fellowship Church, Diocese of Masogo of the Orthodox Anglican Communion was formed. The Rt. Reverend Hesbon O. Nejera succeeded Gawo as National Presiding Bishop on April 10, 1986. The Church uses a 1928 U.S. edition of the Book of Common Prayer, translated to the native tongue, under the authority and supervision of the Communion. Currently the Church has 10,000 members, seventy-five parishes, five deacons, and fourteen priests.
