Diocese of Cyprus and the Gulf

The Diocese of Cyprus and the Gulf is one of three dioceses in the Episcopal Church in Jerusalem and the Middle East, a province of the Anglican Communion. The diocese covers Cyprus and the Arabian Peninsula, Iraq and Yemen. The bishop in Cyprus and the Gulf is the ordinary of the diocese. In every part of the diocese, except in Cyprus and Iraq, the congregations are largely expatriate, with many Christians from Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, the Philippines and the African continent. The diocese is linked to the Diocese of Exeter in England and the Diocese of Thika in Kenya. It is divided into the Archdeaconry of Cyprus and the Archdeaconry of the Gulf: Christopher Futcher was collated as the archdeacon in Cyprus on 7 September 2019. The Rev'd Canon Michael Mbona, a Zimbabwean serving at St. Paul's in Kuwait, was appointed Archdeacon for the Gulf following the retirement of the long-serving Archdeacon Bill Schwartz, OBE.
