Diocese of Lusaka explained

Diocese of Lusaka should not be confused with Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Lusaka.

The Diocese of Lusaka[1] is one of fifteen Anglican bishoprics within the Church of the Province of Central Africa, covering part of Zambia.[2] It came into being as the Diocese of Northern Rhodesia (the colonial precursor of Zambia) in 1910[3] and changed its name in 1971.[4] Its seat is the Cathedral of the Holy Cross, Lusaka.

The first bishop of the new diocese was Filemon Mataka. The current bishop is David Njovu.
