Just after Easter 2007, on 12th April, the Anglican Church in Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa got its own Bishop. Canon Andrew Proud, who had served for five years as Chaplain of St. Matthews Addis Ababa and the Bishop’s Assistant for the Horn of Africa, was consecrated as Area Bishop for Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa, within the Diocese of Egypt, North Africa and the Horn of Africa.

At the consecration service, Bishop Mouneer preached a powerful and inspiring sermon on the importance of being a shepherd of Christ’s flock. The Presiding Bishop of the Province of Jerusalem and the Middle East, the Most Revd. Clive Handford, led the service.

Bishop Ghais abdel Malik was present and assisted in the consecration We are proud to remain part of the Diocese of Egypt and we believe the new Episcopal Area will help us advance God’s Kingdom and the Church’s mission in Ethiopia and the other countries of the Horn of Africa: Eritrea, Djibouti, Somaliland and Somalia.

Bishop Andrew says that now the real work must begin — that of making new Christians and making Christians new. Sadly, very few resources are available for this new work and much will need to be done to raise funds to cover it. However, speaking at the Local Assembly, in Addis, in June,

Bishop Andrew reminded the delegates that if we are faithful, God will bless and multiply our work for His Kingdom. Please pray for us all at this exciting and challenging time.
